Manasquan, NJ –(Ammoland.com)- The US Air Force will be retiring the A10 thunderbolt soon. The plane with the nicknames of “Warthog” and “Tank Killer” was designed for close air ground support missions.
A mission that could be adopted for police use.
General George Hammond says the A10s we will be retrofitted for civilian police use.
“We have done a few studies and found these planes will improve American police forces much as helicopters have.”
The planes would be given to police as part of the 1033 program. Much like how MRAP vehicles are being given to police SWAT teams.
