I have only ever seen 1 in a museum. I would love to see the A-10s.

The Flying Razorbacks of the Arkansas ANG going through their EOR routine at Fort Smith ANGB, March 2011. I always thought the ‘Warthog’ belonged with this unit more than any other.

Thanks both of you, that was a great month crossing the USA to visit many A-10 units along with @ndunridge for his A-10 book project that turned out superbly. Can’t believe that was nearly 14 years ago.

Here’s another highlight from the trip at Davis-Monthan.
