Aug. 22 (UPI) -- Earlier this month, Boeing completed its first round of wing replacements for the A-10 Thunderbolt II and on Wednesday was awarded a contract to rewing the U.S. Air Force's remaining A-10s.
Boeing received a $999 million, announced by the Department of Defense, for 112 new wing assemblies and up to 15 wing kits to finish upgrades for the rest of the 281 plane fleet.
