Professional A-10 photography by Paul Filmer

By Joachim Jacob, Warthog News Editor

Some days ago, on my Warthog News fan page on Facebook, Jared Soergel hooked me up to excellent A-10 slideshows by aviation photographer Paul Filmer from the United States - never seen before by myself. Meanwhile, I'm in personal contact with Paul via e-mail, and he provided me some of his shots for posting on Warthog News exclusively. Just a few samples:
