A-10 Aircraft

This week's restoration project from the days of film:

 

Two A-10 Thunderbolts flying in wingman formation awaiting aerial refueling. This is the plane my husband flew in the Air Force. I took this picture through the window of a KC-135 inflight over Alaska. We were stationed at Eielson Air Force Base outside of Fairbanks at the time. A group of us wives were allowed to watch our husbands on one of their refueling missions. It was quite an adventure and a once in a lifetime opportunity. Someday, if I ever find the negative, I think can improve the quality even more.
