At Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, Warthog News contributor Ned Harris from the United States had the opportunity to catch at least some of the 354th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron A-10Cs on departure from D-M to Westover ARB, Massachusetts, for their first stopover enroute Afghanistan. All departure pictures were taken on September 26, 2012.
