At Moody Air Force Base in Georgia, an A-10C Thunderbolt II has been repainted with a design inspired by the legendary Flying Tigers, honoring Brig. Gen. David Lee 'Tex' Hill and the 23rd Fighter Group. The aircraft features a striking camouflage and the iconic Flying Tiger emblem, reflecting the squadron's World War II heritage. Eleven airmen from the 23rd Maintenance Squadron dedicated significant time to restore the jet, ensuring it serves as a tribute to both the squadron's history and the airmen who continue that legacy. The aircraft is now fully operational while symbolizing the enduring spirit of the Flying Tigers.
