I had a tremendous opportunity come to fruition recently. I got a call offering me a chance to photograph A-10's in a live fire exercise at the Barry Goldwater USAF Range in Arizona. I was able to rearrange a few appointments and quickly headed out the door. Hearing those Hogs firing their 30mm GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling-type cannons within close range of your camera position is quite an experience. These Hog drivers are sharp shooters with those cannons and I would definitely not want to get caught in the open desert with one of these bad boys on my tail. Here are some of my images from that photo op.         | ||

30mm X 6 , that'll scare the Big Bore guys on the forum . "obsolete" but it sure works well. Do you have a good photo of that A-10 that was completely shot up but flew back to base ?? | |||

Actually the GAU-8 "Avenger" cannon is 30mm x7. but otherwise I agree with you. If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day!

Warthogs! Bah! They obviously have not come into contact with a 300 gr Nosler out a CZ ZKK 602.  Actually, excellent photos. Must have been fun.  | |||
