81st Fighter Squadron A-10Cs caught at Pampa Range October 2012

By Joachim Jacob, Warthog News Editor

From Warthog News contributor Edwin Huskens, Belgium, I got notification about recent activity of A-10Cs from the 81st Fighter Squadron, 52nd Fighter Wing (USAFE), Spangdahlem AB, Germany, at Pampa Range, Belgium. I will select and re-post at least a couple of shots which were already released on kbspotting. Special thanks to other Belgian aircraft photographers for their written permission for posting their pictures on my blog.
