A-10C cockpit shots are wanted - Kind feedback from the Netherlands

Today, from Ton Smolders, a professional photographer from the Netherlands, I've got his kind permission to upload his following outstanding shot to my blog, already posted on Digital Combat Simulator 09-14-2009 (See: Looking for details on A-10C Stick and Rudders



Outstanding cockpit shot of A-10C 81-0962 from the 81st Fighter Squadron, 52nd Fighter Wing, Spangdahlem AB, Germany. This very interesting picture was taken at Volkel Open House June 20, 2009. Very impressive is the well-placed "Panthers" helmet, picturing the flags of the United States and Germany. (Photo by Ton Smolders)

Note: Ton's feedback is very helpful to support Ken Neubeck's upcoming new A-10 book by Squadron/Signal. We've already got kind photo support from photographer Pawel Pogoda via Warthog News contributor Mariusz Krawczyk (both from Poland).

Anyone who will provide us some more A-10C cockpit photos, especially close-up shots of the entire front panel, of both of the left and right side panels, and of the new stick?

Ken and I would be very grateful for any further photo support to make a "top notch" update.

Comment: Many thanks for sharing this unique picture, Ton.

A-10C shots by Lockheed Martin on Flickr

Please note: Pictured in all of these shots are "Hogs" from the 104th Fighter Squadron, 175th Wing, Maryland Air National Guard, Martin State Airport. And related to the posted comments and faves, all of these pictures could be uploaded on Flickr already eight months ago, overlooked by me up to now.
