WHAT IS OPERATION WARTHOG
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 welcomed 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.
why the a-10 matters
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.
