Recent A-10's

Post by >Moose< » Mon Feb 18, 2019 12:29 am

Shot these over the past few weeks while I was out at Nellis for Red Flag 19-1, but I don't think they were participants.

4. The local A-10's don't have the iconic Warthog face painted on them, so I was excited to see some from Davis-Monthan's 47th FS. :) I wish I could've gotten more shots. :(

Thank you for these.
Takes me back to the late '80s in the English Fens. Farmers were allowed to burn straw after harvesting the grain. There would be tall columns of grey smoke rising in a big wide sky. A-10s would 'attack' the base of the columns. No camera in those days :( Good memories :)

Nice images. Need to see some A-10s before they are all gone. The days of spotting at Woodbridge and Bentwaters were so long ago.

Great photos. Nice to take a look at something I'm pretty sure I'll never see in the flesh again.

Brings back good memoires when these were based in the UK and see them flying around Lincolnshire everyday.
