NAS Sigonella provides logistics support for Commander, Sixth Fleet and NATO forces in the Mediterranean area. The A-10 Thunderbolt is the first Air Force aircraft specially designed for close air support of ground forces. They are simple, effective and survivable twin-engine jet aircraft that can be used against all ground targets, including tanks and other armored vehicles.

This aircraft is the first of approximately 50 upgraded A-10Cs moving to the base as a part of force realignment. The move is expected to be complete in early spring 2008. The upgrades enable the A-10C to deliver the Air Force's latest generation of precision guided munitions and improve the A-10's communications capabilities, allowing the aircraft to share detailed information with ground-based war fighters.
