On 05AUG2012, Idaho Air Guard’s 124th Fighter Wing (FW) invited their families to the Saylor Creek Range, for a family day and a demonstration of the A-10C Thunderbolt-2.
Officially, it was called ‘Kin Appreciation Day’.
The A-10C demonstration also included Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC) calling in the air-strikes.
Burgers! I edited from video via Staff Sergeant Bob Barney:
