Thunderbolt's Legacy tells the captivating story of A-10 Charlie, a battle-tested Warthog who reflects on his long journey from creation to retirement. Built-in 1981 by Fairchild Republic, A-10 Charlie vividly recounts his first flight, the adrenaline of training new pilots, and the thrill of engaging in combat missions. From his powerful GAU-8 Avenger cannon to surviving a near-fatal missile strike in 1991, Charlie evolves into a symbol of resilience, protecting ground forces through countless battles. After years of service, including significant upgrades that enhance his precision and communication systems, Charlie transitions from frontline warfare to a quieter role testing advanced technologies. Now retired at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum, Charlie's story doesn't end with his last flight. As a museum exhibit, he inspires new generations with his legacy of courage, perseverance, and the enduring spirit of service.
