A-10 Thunderbolt Wing Replacement
Program and Life-Cycle Program Support
Boeing has worked since 2007 to design and
manufacture replacement wings for up to 242
A-10 aircraft. The first wing set was delivered in
March 2011 and made its first flight in November.
The A-10 with the new wing is currently in flight
test. Boeing delivered four new wings to the
Ogden Air Logistics Center in 2011. In 2009,
Boeing was awarded a four-year U.S. Air Force
contract to sustain the A-10 and integrate current
and future upgrades into the aircraft’s avionics,
mechanical and structural systems. Boeing
is one of three contractors that will fulfill A-10
Thunderbolt Life-Cycle Program Support. Boeing
was awarded a contract in 2010 to conduct
development and design repairs for A-10 fuselage
and to train the U.S. Air Force maintainers to
make these repairs.

B-52 Bomber
The B-1B Lancer is a long-range bomber in
service with the U.S. Air Force since 1984. The
B-1B is capable of rapidly delivering large quanti-
ties of precision munitions through any weather,
anywhere, anytime. The B-52H Stratofortress is
in its fifth decade of operational service. Its
primary mission is to provide the United States
with immediate nuclear and conventional global
capability. Due to its high mission-capable rate,
