| USAF A-10 Demo Team unveils new special livery. |
On February 26, the US Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II Demo Team, belonging to the 355th Fighter Wing at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, unveiled a brand new special color demo aircraft. An A-10C received the Southeast Asian pattern that adorned thousands of fighters during the Vietnam War.
The plane wears a cool green and tan camouflage scheme with a white belly. On its nose it shows a list of names that memorializes members of the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing who were Killed In Action or became Prisoners of War during the conflict in Southeast Asia.

The scheme is the same applied to the F-105D Thunderchief flown by the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing during the Vietnam War. The 355th Tactical Fighter Wing later became the 355th Fighter Wing.
This is the second aircraft with special livery to join the A-10 Demo Team fleet. At the end of 2019 the team unveiled a green and gray scheme aircraft in honor of Colonel Henry Brown. Colonel Brown was the highest-scoring WWII fighter ace of the then 355th Fighter Group, flying the P-51 Mustang.
