Photo Comment

Stripped from any squadron markings, this 81st Tactical Fighter Wing, 509th Tactical Fighter Squadron Warthog from RAF Bentwaters (UK) was nicely parked in front of the public of the Koksijde air show. The A-10A was retired in September 2014 and became an instructional airframe (GA-10C) with the 82nd Training Wing at Sheppard AFB (TX).
