A-10 : Thunderbolt & Light.... on his feet

            "No, I'm not a Warthog pilot....... but I play one on Flickr!"   .   .   .   .   The A-10 West Demonstration Team is a select group of professionals dedicated to showing the extreme capabilities of the A-10 aircraft through exceptional aerial maneuvers.

The Wathog was on display, but away from most of the activity of the airshow. The crew could have been letting visitors climb into the cockpit (as I've seen and done before), but except for two of us, not another person was around. I couldn't resist such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, climbing the built-in pilot ladder. The person taking the photo was much more worried than I was.
