Operation Warthog is more than an aircraft arrival. It is a historic moment for Tulsa and a major milestone for Tulsa Air & Space Museum.

In 2026, the museum will proudly welcome an A-10 Thunderbolt II, one of the most iconic combat aircraft ever flown. Known for its unmistakable sound, rugged design, and unmatched close air support capabilities, the A-10 has protected troops on the ground for decades.

This aircraft will be preserved as a permanent static display, giving visitors the rare opportunity to experience the Warthog up close and learn the story behind its legendary service.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II—affectionately known as the “Warthog”—is one of the most iconic aircraft in U.S. Air Force history. Known for its unmatched durability and the unmistakable “BRRRRTT” of its GAU-8 Avenger cannon, the Warthog protected ground troops for decades.

Now, with your help, we can bring this legendary aircraft to Tulsa, permanently restoring and displaying it outside the Tulsa Air & Space Museum.
