Fairchild-Republic Thunderbolt 2 (79-0202)
Major Tyler "Leeroy" Schultz (West Coast A-10 Demonstration Team, 355th Operations Group, 355th Fighter Wing, Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson, AZ -- KDMA) turns "Hogtail One," his Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II -- the "Warthog," from taxiway Juliet on to Charlie taxiway as he heads toward the Atlantic Aviation ramp after landing on Reno Tahoe International's runway 34L on a beautiful Monday morning.

Maj. Schultz had just departed KTRK where he had been displaying 79-0202 at a weekend airshow. After a quick refuel, Leeroy and the Hog departed and headed back to Tucson. I had arrived at 5:50 AM in order to be certain I did not miss his arrival at RNO, and he showed up right on time. After snapping the arrival photos from this position, I went over for closeups. There was a full "lineup" of military air metal: this A-10 next to two Ospreys with a C-17 behind them all. A wonderful morning for sure.
Great pic! Thanks for the additional info on flight - interesting
just a classic photo Gman!
