In 2003, the assets of Fairchild were purchased by M7 Aerospace and the new company was relocated to San Antonio.
On December 15, 2010, M7 was purchased by the United States subsidiary of the Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems.
That was the San Antonio division, that had nothing to do with the A-10. And the company had previously been sold once before, they just kept the Fairchild name.
The A10 program has bounced around a couple of times. I think it was at one time part of Northrop, but I believe it is now managed by Boeing.
As far as the tooling goes, it was kept till around the mid 1980’s,hoping that Regan might reignite the possibility of European sales. When that didn't happen, Fairchild went to the Air Force and said, “what do we do with it?” A scrap order was issued shortly thereafter.
All of the technical data was sent to an Air Force storage facility. But it was improperly stored and most of the drawings being on Mylar, stuck together and were ruined. We (taxpayers) paid Boeing to reconstruct them in the early 2000s.
