Photo Comment

During a night shoot at Graf Ignatievo, this Warthog was playing a lead. This 0600 was delivered to the USAF as a A-10A. After a intensive career, the aircraft was stored at AMARC with inventory number AA AC0482 from 20 October 2006 to March 2007. As USAF requirements for CAS aircraft were high, the aircraft returned to service and was modified to A-10C at Ogden ALC (UT). The A-10C was involved in an accident at Edwards AFB (CA) on 25 March 2008 when it made a wheels-up landing. The aircraft was repaired and is still operational with the squadron.
