Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Interesting flap-arrangement in the second picture
November 2024 update at FokkerNews.nl....

The "flap" that seems to be positioned upwards is actually the airbrake. It opens both upward and downward. You can also see the part positioned downward if you look carefully. It certainly is visible in the first picture (where you can just make out the tip of the upward one as well).Stratofreighter wrote:Interesting flap-arrangement in the second picture

Special thanks for sharing both of these unique and significant photo proofs, matrix. Outstanding job!
A-10C 79-0189 arrived at Lajes Field, Azores, for stopover on March 9, 2011, as part of the 74th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, enroute to Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. A nice arrival shot, already published exclusively on my blog, was taken by Warthog News contributor André Inácio from Portugal. See the following low-res version:
Sometime later, maybe on March 24, 2011, an official USAF photo of this aircraft (visible in the foreground at right) was taken at Kandahar's A-10C ramp and released on the 451st Air Expeditionary Wing's public website (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Willard E. Grande II). See the following low-res version:
Please note: In both pictures, A-10C 79-0189 weares the 74th Fighter Squadron's blue fin flash with the white lightning. But now, it is wearing the 75th Fighter Squadron's chequered fin flash... The reasons of this change and of the arrival at SABCA are both still unknown to me.
@ FISHER01: Yes, the pilot is wearing a desert flight suit because he's coming from A'stan.

Could it be that this A-10 will replace the crashed Spangdahlem one?
