A-10C Patriot Rifle III news article published by AIR International

By Joachim Jacob



As recommended freelance aviation photographer Neil Dunridge from United Kingdom e-mailed me today, he has an 8 page news article in this months AIR International (March 2010 issue) on the 47th Fighter Squadron's deployment for exercise Patriot Rifle III back in September 2009.

Publisher's preview:
PATRIOT RIFLE III
Neil Dunridge visits Hill AFB, Utah, to witness an A-10 AGM-65 Maverick live-fire training exercise.

Tomorrow, I will go to my international press shop at Berlin's Bahnhof Zoo to take a first look on Neil's article (if the current issue of AI is availlable in Germany now).

Quote:
Neil Dunridge, a freelance photographer from Oxford, England, is authoring a book about the A-10 Thunderbolt II and was able to imbed with the 47th Fighter Squadron during the deployment.

"This book will not be just about the A-10, but also about the maintenance personnel who keep it flying," said Mr. Dunridge. "The people were fantastic and the trip couldn't have gone better."
