A-10 East Coast Demo Team prepares for 2009 season

The A-10 East Coast Demo Team is standing up for the first time since its move from Pope AFB, North Carolina, to Moody AFB, Georgia. On January 29th, 2009, the team performed for Col. Kenneth Todorov, 23rd Wing commander, so they could move on for certification at the 9th Air Force level. Yesterday, the following pictures were released on Moody's public website.
