| The venue was set to take place on Sunday as well, but due to inclement weather conditions that was cancelled. Parking |
| was on the HC-130 ramp, which meant that was devoid of local aircraft. Also, a fair portion of the A-10 community was |
| deployed overseas. The public area stretched all the way to the edge of the Southern ramp. So enough to be seen. Photography |
| is a bit distant and best in the late afternoon. When we left, around 11 a.m. there was an enormous row of people |
| waiting for the security checks. The gate opened only a little bit before 9 a.m. so get there before that, or else you will find |
| yourself in a 2 hour queue. With regard to the A-10C marked 76th FS, please note that this is not a typo for 75th but rather |
| the associate reserve squadron that bears that title and is based here too albeit without aircraft of its own. Future |
| Afghan Super Tucanos have their serial inside the cockpit and taped over on the aft fuselage. |
