Forum rules
ImageThis 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.

Sad to see the hogs go. The shots are very nice, you don't see the A-10's that often with such a loadout.

Very sad to see.

I remember the day they came to the USAFE at Bentwaters and Woodbridge, some 34 years ago and later, for the first time of my life, I saw one of them at the Twenthe Air Show 1979 parked on the static.
