I see nothing significantly flawed here...  The light is at a sufficient angle to make the details stand out well.

At least you were smart enough to not say "Can anyond ID this?"

Subconsciously I might have.

Oh cool!! Nice catch, Joe. I am glad that the wing king at DM decided to do this. 82-0665 was the very last A-10 produced and find it very fitting that it is the wing flagship of the largest A-10 wing in the USAF.

That's awesome.  Here's a shot of her last year (9/2/09) in 354th FS markings:


Didn't put it together that this was same bird until I read your comment.

Surprised is not the word I would use when these guys showed up: 25th Fighter Wing A-10s from Osan, South Korea.
