I haven’t seen the A10 for years! Last time was at RIAT years ago.

Good to see all options being kept An incredible aircraft the A10. Designed to still keep flying, even with one side of the tail assembly, and half a wing gone. The pilot sits in a titanium "bathtub" for protection against ground fire up to The US Air Force has female A10 pilots

WOW...what a treat for Prestwick plane spotters! I used to love seeing them at Bentwaters & Woodbridge bases, & seeing them low down weaving their way across Leicestershire, & seeing & hearing them on the ranges around the Wash! They're just what the Ukrainians need to help push the Ruskies back into their own territory (if that's what the intention is)!

[hedydd]

They should fly in formation through the Mach Loop. That would be a sight worth seeing and recording.

Awesome machines. Thought I read somewhere that these are getting phased out?

[philt]

Just awesome. My fav plane. Thanks for posting.

Now that was cool, they were all armed with 2 AxA, and 2 AxGs, then they come in from 2 directions, that's good tactics

[PLANEMANIA]

[amorosogombe]

You just know the US has a well oiled playbook the way they're responding so rapidly and methodically.

[Braun]

I can imagine the rush to the loo after the landing 😂

[jimgemmell]

Were you there all day on Monday, or did you come down just for the A10s?

[jamesmason]

[Lee]

Why are the snp not preventing this? Innocent people might live if they don't.

[weefreedavielittle]

Su 57s wont be long with them if they enter Ukr airspace 😁

All in time for America to escalate once again.
