The Air Force is retiring its aging T-1 fleet as it moves to a mobility pilot training system that relies more on simulator flights.
After an engine fire destroyed a B-1 Lancer bomber in 2022, the Air Force picked a new "Bone" from its jet graveyard to replace it.
Davis-Monthan received its first A-10 in 1976.
Airmen associated with the aircraft can switch to other jobs at Robins Air Force Base or transfer elsewhere.
