Citat:After 46 years of military service spanning combat missions in Afghanistan and Iraq, a veteran Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II “Warthog” will make its final flight this month, returning to the Maryland city where it was born.
The historic aircraft, tail number 79-0087, is scheduled to touch down at Hagerstown Regional Airport at noon on Sept. 22, marking what is likely the last time an A-10 will ever land at the airport where more than 700 of the legendary attack aircraft were built between 1976 and 1984.
The homecoming flight serves as the capstone to a weekend celebrating the 100th anniversary of Fairchild Aircraft, the company that put Hagerstown on the aviation map and whose legacy continues to define the city’s identity.
