Updated February 5 and 6, 2013
At Nellis AFB, Nevada, Warthog News contributor Bruce Smith from the United States had some opportunities to take shots of A-10Cs from the 358th Fighter Squadron "Lobos", 355th Fighter Wing (ACC), Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, which participated in exercise Green Flag - West.

Please note: I will double check all of that.
Update February 6, 2013:
Last night, Bruce told me via e-mail: I never saw 81-0942 present at Nellis, but the 15th one I did see here was 82-0659/358FS. If 942 was here it must have been swapped out for one of the others.
In a second e-mail Bruce stressed: As a side note (if you didn't notice), 946 and 977 are two of the ex WAs involved in the swap.
BTW: This side note is related to a recent A-10C aircraft swap between D-M and Nellis, already reported by Warthog News.
And here's Bruce's photo proof for A-10C 82-0659, delayed by me due to questions:
A-10C 82-0659, marked 358TH FS/CC as the squadron commander's aircraft (2013-01-23). (Photo by Bruce Smith) Full size
But what's that: GBU-12 on station 1!!! Anybody who can explain this???
