The USAF commenced the transition to the new model in early 2010 with five A-10Cs at Osan Air Base, South Korea.
The final A-10A aircraft is being transferred for modification and reassignment to the US Air National Guard.
The upgrade to the C-model combines a highly survivable airframe and air-to-ground cannon with digital sensor and pilot integration.
