Travels and other things

This afternoon there will be a ceremony for the 5th anniversary of 9/11. We came to tow a Blackhawk in for maintenance and found it in this static display background for the ceremony. We'll just get it in the morning instead.

The other aircraft is an Air Force A-10, nicknamed "Worthog". They go out in pairs and and fly a lot from here. I think its the main support for ground troops since it carries a little of everything, missiles, bombs and of course the machine gun in the nose. Its not the fastest of jets, but it can get close to the ground and do some damage. I think it was designed during the cold war to be a Russian tank buster.
