USAF C-17, 50084, landing at Prestwick 21/6/21.

On short finals to land at Prestwick airport, Scotland is this USAF Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II from the 107th fighter wing part of the Michigan air national guard. This is one of 12 to arrive ahead of a large exercise in Europe.

 

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft developed by Fairchild Republic for the United States Air Force. In service since 1976, it is named for the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, but is commonly referred to as the "Warthog" or simply "Hog". The A-10 was designed to provide close air support to friendly ground troops by attacking armored vehicles, tanks, and other enemy ground forces; it is the only production-built aircraft designed solely for CAS to have served with the U.S. Air Force.

With the Air Festival this past weekend at nearby Martin State Airport I was able to snap of some fighter plane captures in addition to birds along Middle River.

 

Captured here at slower shutter speed to show the props in motion.
