Heritage Flight Conference 2010 photo report (Part Two)

During the Heritage Flight Conference 2010, hold at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, March 4 to 7, photographer Vance V. Lessard from United States had the opportunity to take the following A-10 shots March 5, 2010, already uploaded by him on his photo stream on flickr. From Vance I got the kind permission to post his pictures also on my blog. Many thanks, Vance. And welcome as the latest Warthog News contributor! Because Vance uploaded no less than 24 related pictures, I decided to post a Part Two of HFC 2010 pics on my blog. For Part One please check Heritage Flight Conference 2010 photo report.

Heritage Flight Conference 2010 photo report

During the Heritage Flight Conference 2010, hold at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, March 4 to 7, Warthog News contributor André Jans from the Netherlands had the opportunity to take the following pictures. As he e-mailed me, A-10 East from the 23rd Fighter Group, 23rd Wing, Moody AFB, Georgia, didn't flew in their own assigned demo jets. They borrowed A-10Cs from A-10 West.
