Cool opportunity!!
As the title says, I get to go on a pretty cool opportunity next week. On Friday May 18th, I get to travel down to Willow Grove, PA with some other A-10 engineers and watch the A-10 do some bombing and gun runs!!
Not only that, but they are actually letting us bring cameras!
I think they will mainly be dropping some GBU-12's and then firing a bunch of GAU-8 rounds. I am pretty psyched. Plus, in June/July I then get to go out and watch the A-10 fire off the missiles that I have worked on integrating.

No offense, but I am gonna call BS on that one. I believe there is only one 2 seat A-10 left in existance and I don't think it flies anymore. (It was called the A-10B)
Anyway, I will be bringing both my camcorder and digital camera so I will do my best to get some decent shots and I will post them up as soon as I can!
EDIT: You can find info here on the two seater A-10's. They built 1.5 basically. A-10 Thunderbolt II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John (intern8tion9l) does have his pilots license, but who knows.
