A-10s over Spangdahlem AB - An actual photo essay

On March 31st and April 1st, 2009, a group of German aircraft spotters traveled to Spangdahlem AB, Germany, to catch some aircraft movements (including A-10s from the 81st Fighter Squadron, F-16Cs and other aircraft). Spotted on March 31st were A-10s 81-0966, 81-0978, 81-0983 and 81-0988. Spotted on April 1st were at least A-10s 81-0952, 81-0980 and 82-0646. From three photographers I got the permission to post their A-10 shots on my blog.
