Two A-10C Thunderbolt II aircraft perform an aerial demonstration during the Thunder and Lightning Over Arizona Air Show at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, March 23, 2025. The A-10 was the first Air Force aircraft specially designed for close air support of ground forces and had the ability to combine large military loads, long loiter and wide combat radius, which proved to be vital assets to the United States and its allies during Operation Desert Storm and Operation Noble Anvil.
