Hello everyone. Thought I would put up a few pics of A-10s doing some work at the Warren Grove Range in NJ. Went out there on 2.27.07. PA, MD, MA, MD ANG units all were there. I have some video as well, I'm going to be putting together a little video when I get some time, but I wanted to share some pics for now. The weather was pretty crappy, very cloudy and overcast, so shooting was tough. And I'm just a novice with the camera....but anyways...enjoy!

Always nice to see the Hog in action, nice wing tip vortices on the last shot, and the falling bombs were well caught.

Got a couple of red crosses though :(

Excellent, Waltz! Nothing wrong those shots, at all! Even a bad pic is better than no pic. But, why is that one painted white? New paint scheme? :wink: :wink:

That's just the way the light is hitting the jet.

I realized the other day watching ghorsepowers demo video again, how good it is to the the A-10 actually flying. The flying and shift schedule here lately has them all on the ground when I come in to work. I haven't seen an Hog fly with my own eyes in months.

Very nice pix! I like the \"white\" one, the way the sun hit it with the gray background....looks cool. 8)

I found a clip on youtube. Think you saw actions like this one on that range Waltz41. It is another date than yours, but it is for the vision.

Thanks guys, yeah, that one with the 'white' paint was when I was messing around with my settings on the camera too, so that's partially the problem. I do have some video from that day, which I'm going to put together into probably a little music video. I'll post it when I finish it up. I'm hoping to get back out there a few more times this spring and summer, it's not going to be as busy there in the not too distant future with all the BRAC closures and such starting to affect the A-10 community.
