About the artwork
Landing Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II.
This Fairchild Republic A-10 (AF 81-0998) is from Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan.
The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a Fairchild fighter aircraft in service with the US Air Force. It is the only USAF aircraft developed primarily for the purpose of providing air support on the battlefield (close air support). It is specially equipped to destroy armoured vehicles and other ground targets. It can also be used against ground targets that are further away from its own troops (air interdiction).
A secondary task the aircraft can perform is acting as a flying forward air controller; here, the pilot talks other aircraft to the targets to be attacked on the ground.
The official name for the A-10 is Thunderbolt II, named after its World War II predecessor, the P-47 Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolt II was soon nicknamed "Warthog" or lump hog. This because of its appearance, relatively low speed and flying altitude, rigidity and numerous armaments.
This photo was taken on 14 June 2023 at Fliegerhorst Schleswig Jagel.
