PORTAGE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Air Zoo’s Flight Discovery Center in Portage has unveiled a preserved A-10 Warthog.
Known as the 258, it was one of the 17 planes at the Battle Creek Air National Guard Base and retired Brigadier General Ron Wilson says its a durable aircraft.
Wilson says even if it was damaged, it “has such redundant systems that it always brought you back and you knew that you could trust it.”
He was flying the plane in Iraq when a missile shredded the engine.
It came to Portage to be rebuilt and preserved this summer.
