On December 23, 2009, from Alex I got permission to post some of his latest A-10 shots, taken at Nordhorn Range, Germany, during November and December 2009. All of these six pictures (very rare) were already first-published on German FlugzeugForum. See FF's chapter Flugplätze (Airfields), Topic NOH-RANGE, Nordhorn. And please let me start with the most-spectacular photo:

General question to all Warthog professionals (pilots, crew chiefs, other maintainers, or weapons loaders: Is such an extended flash from the GAU-8/A Avenger 30mm cannon really an exception or noth ???
