F-16s may soon replace A-10s at Gowen Field — environmental impact analysis underway

The A-10 Thunderbolt II, affectionately known as the 'Warthog', has been flying out of Gowen Field for three decades.

"It's the longest serving aircraft we've had here at Gowen Field," said Lt. Col. Chris Borders with the Idaho National Guard.

Soon, this beloved aircraft that Idahoans have seen soaring over the Treasure Valley for 30 years may be replaced with something new — the F-16.
