2/4/2010 - CHANGI, Singapore -- The A-10 East Demonstration Team from Moody Air Force Base, Ga., is at Singapore Airshow 2010 here, helping exhibit a snapshot of the diverse inventory of U.S. military aircraft and equipment.

The team is flying A-10s from Osan Air Base, South Korea, at the show, which takes place Feb. 2-7. It is one of the largest air and trade shows in the world.

U.S. Pacific Command's participation in the six-day air show directly supports U.S. engagement goals and furthers U.S. relations with countries in the Asia-Pacific region.



A-10A 80-0244 from the 25th Fighter Squadron, 51st Fighter Wing (PACAF), Osan AB, Republic of Korea (note AN/AAR-47 Missile Warning System), participates February 3, 2010, in the Singapore Airshow 2010 held at Changi Airport in Changi, Singapore. The Singapore air show is one of the largest air and trade shows in the world. Aircraft from the United States are participating in both static displays and aerial demonstrations to exhibit a snapshot of the diverse inventory of U.S. military aircraft and equipment. U.S. Pacific Command's participation in the six-day air show directly supports U.S. engagement goals and furthers U.S. relations with countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

The other Hog on place from the 25th Fighter Squadron, 51st Fighter Wing (PACAF), Osan AB, Republic of Korea, was A-10A 82-0652 (also equipped with AN/AAR-47 Missile Warning System), photographed and documented during aerial demonstration February 3, 2010, by Frikkie Becker, who uploaded his nice picture to airliners.net.

Minutes ago, I asked Frikkie for permission to post his important shot on my blog and still wait for a reply.
