At Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, Warthog News contributor Ned Harris from the United States had the opportunity to catch five A-10Cs from the 190th Fighter Squadron, 124th Wing (Idaho ANG), Boise, Idaho.
Via e-mail Ned told me: They started flying yesterday and appear to be here as part of Operation Snowbird but there has been no press release. I hope to post the images tonight on flickr. Best guess is that there are 8 of them here now.

Note: Generally, Ned use to publish arrival shots taken from a front angle. And so I especially like this very nice aft view.

I'm curious, aircraft 81-0955 has no tail flash nor wing emblem, however, I have a photo of 955 in Hillsboro, Oregon with the tail flash and wing emblem...is there a NEW tail flash? Are they finally fitting the aircraft with nose art?
