In addition to my photo news 81st Fighter Squadron A-10Cs caught during exercise REAL THAW 2013 February 13, 2013 (already posted on February 14, 2013) I'm now able to present much more "Hog" stuff taken on February 13, 2013, which was organized by the Portuguese Air Force as REAL THAW 2013 Spotters Day to give aviation photographers the opportunity to take a closer look at the exercise and participating aircraft.
Portuguese aviation photographers are taking shots of A-10C 82-0650, one of six "Hogs" from the 81st Fighter Squadron "Panthers", 52nd Fighter Wing (USAFE), Spangdahlem AB, Germany, currently participating in exercise REAL THAW 2013. (Photo by Sandra Antunes) Full size
