The Boneyard – A-10

Originally uploaded by rob-the-org

Late Friday the Pentagon announced that a percentage of the A-10′s in service were being grounded after cracks were discovered in the wings.

The cracks were found on A-10′s undergoing inspection at Hill AFB in Utah, and similiar cracks were found in A-10′s based at Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona.

Just another sign that our military is being worn out by 5 years of active duty.
