BAUMHOLDER, Germany – U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. Matthew Kading, 81st Fighter Squadron pilot, raises a signal smoke flare during joint forces combat search and rescue training at the Baumholder Major Training Area here Jan. 23. The training integrates U.S. Army and Air Force resources to more accurately simulate the real-life CSAR and close air support scenarios encountered in deployed locations. The goal of this training is to build a stronger partnership between the military branches to enable pilots to train like they fight. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Dillon Davis) Hi-res

BTW: Related to that, I remember the glory old days of A-10 TDY's to their Forward Operation Locations (FOL's) in Germany... (including the legendary "Autobahn" landing or stop-over spots...) Please check: German Autobahn

Request: Anybody who likes to provide me historic A-10 shots, taken on air bases in Germany? If yes, I would be very grateful for any related support!
