USAF Warthog demo team confirmed for Centennial Airshow
Organizers for Dryden’s upcoming Centennial Airshow are pleased to report that they have received official notice from the United States Air Force Air Combat Command that the A-10 Warthog East Demo Team will be performing at the Dryden event during the May Long Weekend.
The A-10 Thunderbolt II, designed for close air support of ground troops, is extremely maneuverable at low air speeds and altitude. The aircraft can loiter near battle areas for extended periods of time and operate under 1,000-foot ceilings (303.3 metres) with 1.5-mile (2.4 kilometres) visibility. The wide combat radius and short takeoff and landing capability permit operations in and out of locations near front lines. Using night vision goggles, A-10 pilots can conduct their missions during darkness.
