Happy 250th!

These aircraft belong to the 25th Fighter Squadron ("Assam Draggins"), which operated under the 51st Fighter Wing based at Osan Air Base in South Korea. The 25th had historically operated the A-10 at Osan Air Base in South Korea and was officially inactivated on September 30, 2025. The squadron began a phased withdrawal of its 24 A-10C aircraft in January 2025, executing its final divestment flight on July 17, 2025, which brought an end to permanently stationed U.S. Air Force A-10 operations in the Indo-Pacific region.
