This months subject is: The A-10 Thunderbolt II

Any photo of an A-10 is allowed. If you have any doubt, please feel free to ask a member of staff! :)

Sadly, the withdrawal of Europe's final A-10 unit has begun with the aircraft of the 81st FS/52nd FW, Spangdahlem, Germany being ferried back to the USA. To commemerate it, this competition is being run along with a special prize give away!

This months competition is kindly sponsored by Neil Dunridge who will be giving away a copy of his book "A-10 Thunderbolt II: 21st Century Warthog" to the first place winner.
