The 482nd's AIRCRAFT
Aircraft are inanimate, lifeless objects. Yet the list below is a sad one. Anyone who can read through this list and not feel some pangs of regret...well, you missed your chance at being a real member of the 482nd. The thought of our aircraft being turned into target range drones simply numbs the mind. Like turning noble war horses into glue. GCW
RED - destroyed on our watch.
And the last planes that went to...Vermont's ANG & S. Carolina ANG.
