Troy E. Meink, the 27th Secretary of the Air Force, announced on Monday via X that, in consultation with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, the Air Force will "extend the A-10 'Warthog' platform to 2030."
The Air Force had been trying to shut down the use of A-10s for more than a decade.
An April 3rd graduation ceremony at Davis-Monthan marked the last class of Warthog pilots.
But the A-10 is still active, with more than a dozen flying missions as part of Operation Epic Fury.
"This preserves combat power as the Defense Industrial Base works to increase combat aircraft production," the post said.
An Air Force spokesperson tells KGUN 9 that Davis-Monthan is not one of the bases where the A-10s will be going.
Instead, there will be one active-duty squadron at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia and one reserve squadron at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.
