355th Fighter Wing A-10s caught at D-M January 25, 2010

Warthog News contributor James O'Rear from United States had the opportunity to take the following pictures, already published on his photostream on flickr:

Visible in the background is A-10 80-0181. (Photo by James O'Rear) Full size



Just a joke by James: A-10 81-0961 demonstrating its massive load carrying capability with an MD-80 airliner loaded underneath the left wing. Airliner was inbound for Tucson International Airport (KTUS) while A-10 was turning off of the downwind leg to land at Davis-Monthan AFB (KDMA), Arizona. (Photo by James O'Rear) Full size
