A little bit different framing of the A-10 Demo from Luke earlier this year:

(In the original, you can clearly see the wingtip vortices trailing behind .. even in clear air)

"Chopper Popper," one of two A-10s to score an air-to-air kill during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, preserved and mounted just west of the glider airfield at the Air Force Academy:

Jay, I love the head on view of the A-10.

Here's a couple A-10's trying to sneak out of Whiteman AFB, where the B-2's are also based.  These aren't so stealthy.

Nice capture, Matt. That looks like a Maverick and a LAU-68 rocket pod under the left wing.
