U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Rodney Dwyer, 355th Operations Group commander, and Lt. Col. Ryan Rutter, 357th Fighter Squadron commander, fly the A-10 Thunderbolt II for the last time at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, July 29, 2026. The A-10's precision and survivability saved countless lives and defined Close Air Support for nearly half a century. The final flight event honored the aircraft's decades of close air support excellence and celebrated its lasting legacy as DMAFB transitions to future mission requirements.
