A day at Davis Monthan AFB (A-10s)
As I slowly trawl through my photos from my US trip I'll try and share some with you. Today's photos are from Davis Monthan, home to a number of A-10 squadrons, from both Air Combat Command and Air Force Reserve Command.

A-10s against a moody sky, what a great contrast, like them all.
Cheers.

Re: A day at Davis Monthan AFB (A-10s)
Thanks for the kind words everyone, I'm glad you like them!
Sure was, and I was only there in the afternoon as I spent the morning at Pima! You must have grabbed quite a few more airframes in the morning.

As others have said a great set of photos, especially against the dark sky.
They've certainly been busy with those mission tallies!

If the rest of your pictures are as good as those we are in for a treat.Love the dark sky Hogs.
Re: A day at Davis Monthan AFB (A-10s)
Great shots , love the Hogs and others are all quality shots.
Re: A day at Davis Monthan AFB (A-10s)
Always nice to see some images from a different base perimeter. The A-10s against the dark clouds are very tasty.
