Subject: [Leica] IMG: A-10 Warthog up close

I took this photo in 2002 while these aircraft were preparing for an  
airshow at the local Air Station. The engineering building where I  
worked was only about 1/4 mile from the runway. The photo  
opportunities I had were much better then going to the show itself.  
All the aircraft including the USAF Thunderbirds practiced for two  
days prior to the show.

This particular plane had just fired it's cannon and dropped a smoke  
bomb of some sort. I left the enlarged view larger then normal so you  
could see the pilot in the cockpit.

I hope you enjoy the photo of this amazing aircraft.
