This aircraft is the first of approximately 50 upgraded A-10Cs moving to Moody AFB as a part of a base realignment. The move is expected to be complete in early spring 2008 as aircraft are converted from A-10A to A-10C models. Colonel Milam is the 75th Fighter Squadron commander. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Parker Gyokeres) Say hello to the latest edition of the A-10, the A-10C.

When we think about technology, either high or low, that is not the issue. The real target is appropriate technology. The A-10 Wart Hog is one ugly bird with A REAL BAD ATTITUDE. This is especially true if you are on the receiving end.
