 As a member of Air Combat Command's 355th week, located at Davis Moppen Air Force Base in Sunning, Tucson, Arizona, it is my pleasure to describe for you a capability demonstration by the heavily feared and affected Close Air Support aircraft, the A-10 Thunderbolt 2. Our mission is to provide the close air support needed for our Army, Marine, Navy, and all Allied ground forces so they can operate anywhere, anytime.
