The A-10 required new wings between 2011 and 2021. The program costs reached over $2 billion. The only reason this plane is still in service is because old heads in congress think close air support means getting 50 feet away from the enemy with the GAU-8/A

“Thunder Up” Flying Tigers! On Saturday 10 A-10C Fairchild Thunderbolt II jets from the 23rd FW out of Moody stopped by Tinker AFB for some fuel. A-10C 81-0971 of the 74th FS and 78-0646 of the 76th Fighter Squadron on departure. Thank you pilots and maintainers! #USAF 🇺🇸 BRRRRT

There is a wildfire located about 2 miles north of Sayre, Oklahoma. If you live in or north of the Sayre area, please be ready to evacuate if necessary! #okwx

An early morning return for B-1B FLICK62 today at 05.40Z after it's mission. Really nice pic by Matt B with permission @MattBel66556652

Tragic news!! Six lives lost in the crash of a KC-135 (Reg 62-3556) after a mid-air collision over Iraq. Our thoughts are with the families, friends, and fellow airmen. Blue skies and tailwinds. ✈️🇺🇸 #aviation #usaf #avgeek #planespotter #nikon #photography #restinpeace #KC135

Monster hail from Illinois. This is the largest stone I’ve seen reported yet.

Massive hail with spikes. Over 6” in diameter likely a new state record.

Lots of action around Tinker AFB lately. Here are a few photos of ED F-16C 88-0456 (Salty 11), MT B-52H 60-0005 5th BW Boss Bird (Sabre 52), HH F-22 04-063 (Mytai 11), and Altus KC-135 60-0351 with the WWII Y paint on the tail.

Jaylin Williams on SGA: "The most impressive thing as a teammate and as a friend of Shai is what he is off the court." "He's just like me. He's just like the 34th pick, the two-way. He's the same person to everybody. He's the MVP of the league, but he's a better person."

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the FIRST player in NBA history with... • 35+ points • 15+ assists • 0 turnovers • 75%+ true shooting ..all in the same game.

MVP ✌🏼

SGA GAME-WINNER VS. THE NUGGETS 🎯🔥

Unbelievable. Ties Wilt Chamberlain and then drains it not once but twice! SGA=MVP. #clutch #thunderup

@DefenceGeek @MATA_osint @ArmchairAdml @havoc_aviation @Andyyyyrrrr @jamjake01 @Saint1Mil @vcdgf555 @ianellisjones @MilMonWorld B-1B 86-0120 “Whiskey Pete”, 8-28-24. Rare low overhead swept wing pass.

More "Bones" to Europe after Iran strikes #FreeIran --- Operation EPIC FURY --- Once again, a flight of 4 B-1B "Lancer" bombers from the US crossed the Atlantic last night, with one aircraft 86-0140 "MOLT14" arriving into RAF Fairford. The remaining 3 jets flew to Iran to bomb targets, then flew back through Europe towards RAF Fairford earlier today. Unfortunately, due to very poor visibility at the base, the 3 bombers elected to divert to Ramstein Airbase (ETAR) in Germany for a temporary rest stop & refuel, and should head to RAF Fairford later today to join the 5 other bombers already there. The full list of B-1Bs now at / expected to arrive at RAF Fairford are: B-1B 86-0120 #AE6BFA "Whiskey Pete" (EL) B-1B 86-0108 #AE6BF0 "Aliens with Attitude" (EL) B-1B 86-0139 #AE6C0A "Drifter" (EL) B-1B 86-0121 #AE6BFB "Symphony of Destruction" (EL) B-1B 85-0064 #AE6BD3 "Eliminator" (DY) B-1B 85-0088 #AE6BE1 (DY) B-1B 86-0107 #AE6BEF "Dragon Slayer" (WA) B-1B 86-0140 #AE6C0B "Last Lancer" (DY) Shout out once again to local spotters and @MATA_osint team members for assisting with data and photos!

SGA WALKED DOWN DRAYMOND 😭

@CENTCOM B-52 slow motion on short final into Tinker AFB in mid-February. Tough to process how big this jet is until it’s right over you.

It’s never fair when a B-52 is involved. “This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they’re down.” – Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
