An A-10 Thunderbolt II refuels from a C-130 using a probe and drogue system for the first time in the aircraft's history, April 2, 2026. The Probe Refueling Adapter converts the A-10 from its standard boom refueling configuration, allowing the aircraft to refuel from drogue-equipped tankers and expanding operational refueling options. The capability was developed in response to a combatant command requirement to increase air refueling availability in theater.
