Republic A-10C Thunderbolt 79-0195 is the latest addition to the Russell Military Museum in Zion, Illinois, US. The 'Warthog' was previously based at Davis Monthan in Arizona and served as a USAF airshow demonstrator. It continues to wear the markings of Air Combat Command on its twin vertical tail fins. Although its two engines have been removed from the nacelles, both units are currently displayed at the museum alongside the aircraft. The A-10C is described as being in remarkably good condition, and its restoration is likely to take less time than the other two modern combat aircraft at the museum, McDonnell Douglas F-15B Eagle 75-0084 and General Dynamics F-16D Fighting Falcon 81-0817. The Thunderbolt will remain on public display until restoration begins.
