39 je penzionisano do kraja fiskalne godine ( 1. oktobar) i prebaceno u pustinju.

Citat:The U.S. Air Force sent at least 39 A-10s to the boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona this year, more than double the number of Warthogs it sent into mothballs in 2023. The service is pushing steadily ahead with plans to retire the type for good before the end of the decade, if not well before then, though the venerable ground attack aircraft continues to see combat in the interim.

Data on A-10 retirements are available on official monthly inventory reports from the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), released between January and September. The 309th AMARG manages the boneyard and received 17 Warthogs in 2023. There were 50 A-10As and 107 A-10Cs in storage in total, many of which are in non-flyable condition, as of September 2024. How many additional A-10s may have headed into retirement in the past three months is unknown.

When Fiscal Year 2024 began on Oct. 1 of last year, there were 218 A-10s in service across the Air Force, according to separate data released back in March as part of the annual U.S. defense budget request rollout. The 39 Warthogs that went to the boneyard this year represent nearly 20% of that total. The Air Force currently plans to retire the last of the ground attack jets, which it argues have ever-more limited survivability and general utility, especially in any future high-end operations, such as a conflict in the Pacific against China, no later than 2030.

Osteceni A-10 iznad Iraka 2003. broj 987. Slike su poznate kao i sam slucaj ali pilot Kim Kembel potvrdjuje da taj avion nije nikad popravljen i da je koriscen za delove. Danas je spomenik.

Iako ostecenja ne deluju sa slika nepopravljivo imao je preko 600 rupa na zadnjem delu aviona, a ona je tokom leta imala potpuni gubitak hidraulicnog pritiska.

Citat:After my A-10 was hit, the Battle Damage Repair team flew in to assess damage: 600+ holes covered the fuselage & tail. After evaluation, the jet wasn’t going to fly again. So maintenance adapted & made the call to use 987 for spare parts ensuring other A-10s stayed in the fight.

Bradavičaste svinje idu u penziju: USAF hoće da prizemlji sve A-10 do 2027
Citat:Američko ratno vazduhoplovstvo (USAF) planira da značajno ubrza povlačenje svojih jurišnih aviona Ferčajld Ripablik A-10 (Fairchild Republic A-10). Prema najnovijim planovima koji su danas objavljeni, cela flota bi trebalo da bude povučena do 2027. godine.
Ove planove izneli su anonimni visoki zvaničnici Pentagona, koji su 26. juna dali uredništvu portala FlightGlobal pregled predloga budžeta za odbranu za fiskalnu 2026. godinu koji je podneo Donald Tramp.
Predlog budžeta uključuje zahtev za 57 miliona dolara koji bi bili iskorišćeni za povlačenje svih preostalih 162 aviona A-10 Tanderbolt II
