There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Thanks for the heads up! I always wondered whether I should purchase the one below. I never did as I'm more a propeller guy. Now I realise I perhaps should have bought it earlier....

I can still very well remember the first time I saw an A-10. Very early eighties, the first A-10 would be stationed in Europe and the USAF decided to make a tour with two A-10 along some airfields. I was still in the Air Force and the airfield I was stationed, was one of the lucky ones. Just before noon, the two A-10 would make a low pass.
Although it was still strictly forbidden to take photographs on a military base in those day, I was ready, with my Eastern European camera and 300mm telephoto lens. It was cloudy weather so the aircraft would have a nice background.
With a small group we were waiting at the edge of the platform until one said; "There they are!" The guy obviously had good eyes as I didn't see anything, until I realised there are several definitions of a low pass.
The aircraft were at least at 3,000 feet! Not really what we had expected. But I still have the picture I took that moment. A tiny black silhouette, which could be anything...... But I know it was an A-10 and the picture is still better than nothing
Cheers,
