A combat plane the U.S. Air Force has been trying to kill is now headed off to war once again. The A-10 Thunderbolt, a Cold War-era plane known by the nickname Warthog, is being sent from the Indiana National Guard to the 20-country military region known as U.S. Central Command, which includes Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. A statement released by the Indiana National Guard said the 122nd Fighter Wing would send about 300 personnel on a deployment that is “historic for its length and size.” The statement didn’t specify if the warplanes would be used in the U.S.-led campaign against Islamic State fighters and other militants.
