Hawgsmoke 2008
Twenty-five to 30 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, like these, will participate in Hawgsmoke 2008 in Salina, Kan., Oct. 15 to 18, despite an Air Force time-compliance technical order issued Oct. 3 to inspect for wing cracks on 130 of the service's almost 400 A-10 aircraft. Hawgsmoke is an Air Force A-10 bombing and gunnery competition held every two years. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Bill Huntington)
