75th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron A-10Cs flying over Afghanistan

Just found that on the Flickr site of DVIDSHUB (Defense Video & Imagery Distribution System):

  1. Typical 23rd. Can't keep the Jet down for an extra day and paint the new FWD NLG door.

  2. The "green" part is the nose landing gear door...we had a few return from Afghanistan with new nose doors.
