Album Info:
Built in 1976 it was nicknamed the "Warthog." The 'hog' is 53'4" long, 14"8" high, wingspan is 57"6", speed is 420 mph, max. weight 51,000 pounds, and all this is operated by one crew person. Taking these photos was wonderful because it gave me a chance to see just what my new E500 could do. Love that camera.

The good ole A-10 "Tank Killer". Never used in combat until Desert Storm. Provide reliable, durable, and effective. I remember one landing in Saudi Arabia before I retired that had lost half a wing and it was NOT a crash landing. Thanks for the show. Happy Snappin -Andy-

I think this plane is a bit prettier than a "Warthog!" What a piece of work! Love your shot! I imagine you would have done a superb job capturing this photo with any camera, but am glad you like your new one. Hugs, Sharon

Wow, I am impressed with your new camera. Your photos this week are great. I really liked the second one, but all three are terrific.

Great shot, Mary Ann! I love your new camera too. This looks like a lumpy plane and rather awkward. Guess it got the job done. Wonderful show you gave us this week. Greetings and hugs from, OKLAHOMA. Susie
