When Idaho had the A-10C: Air Guard’s family day, food, fun & gatling guns! Saylor Creek Range, 2012.

Video

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:

Apparently the lucky owner of this 1932 cabriolet easily won it at an auction because almost nobody else was interested! On top of that, when it arrived it had everything, including a working top and an original trunk.
