U.S. Air Force Maintainers Restore Iconic 'Flying Tigers' Heritage Paint on A-10C
Maintainers at Moody Air Force Base have meticulously restored a heritage paint scheme on an A-10C Thunderbolt II aircraft. The project honors the legacy of the World War II-era American Volunteer Group, famously known as the 'Flying Tigers.' The aircraft now features the iconic shark-face nose art, a symbol of the 23rd Wing's direct lineage. This effort not only preserves history but also serves as a significant morale booster, connecting current Airmen with their unit's celebrated past.
