Hi All,
Well what a frustrating deployment that was, I had the option of heading out to catch the A-10's on any day of my choosing but the bad weather was persistent all week, of course their arrival and departure was in the sun! I headed out on the Wednesday having missed their last visit nearly four years ago with determination to see something. It was a challenging day for flying and a challenging day for shooting but the left turn back down the taxiway was very special. Here's my record of day.

Nice set...
Didn't notice it before, but on the first two pics of 956, it looks like the nose cone has been given a good going over with some kind of blunt instrument... Surprised it didn't have a nose bleed...

My guess is re-fuelling rod alignment issues
