Hi

Or another title could be "Lumps of metal in a field in Arizona" :lol:

A few from the air in this set including the operational ramp ...more in a later part

Not much else to say really hope you have fun spotting the different types :)

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul :P

I never cease to be amazed, nor fed up with, seeing just what is on the ground there :thumb:

B-U-T :O

What the Donald Duck are those 'Hogs doing there, when they should be in the air, where they belong :Wow:

Thanks

Paddyboy :clap:

PB, the A-10s are an active unit at Davis-Monthan, DM is both for storage and an active base. :)

What do they do with all that stuff? Spares,mothballed or just waiting to be scrapped?

Some are scrapped (as there's a huge amount of cash to be made from certain materials), some are returned to service and some are sold abroad.

But mostly scrapped. :(
