The US Air Force (USAF) has issued a request for information (RfI) to industry for the re-winging of an undisclosed number of Fairchild-Republic A/OA-10A Thunderbolt II close air support aircraft.
The RfI, which was posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website on 17 September, is to gather comments and potential sources for production of new wing assemblies for the A/OA-10A to support operational requirements through 2021.
Final vendor RfI responses are expected by close of business on 2 November, with an Industry Day to be held at Hill Air Force Base in Utah on 17 November.
WNU Editor: This plane refuses to die.
