The 2006 Marathon
The 2006 USAF Marathon was held on Saturday, September 16. To commemorate our rich history in flight, each year one aircraft is chosen to be highlighted during the marathon and on the unique finisher's medal presented to each race participant. In 2006, the USAF Marathon featured the A-10 Thunderbolt II close air support plane. 2006 marked the 25th anniversary of the A-10's initial deployment. The 2006 logo depicts the shark-faced plane characteristic of the Flying Tigers, 23rd Fighter Group, Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina. The paint job is unique to the 23rdFG and is a nod to the Flying Tigers' World War II heritage.
