The Fairchild Republic A-10-C Warthog The Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin turbofan engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). Commonly referred to by its nicknames Warthog or Hog, its official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II fighter that was effective at attacking ground targets. The A-10 was designed for close-in support of ground troops, close air support (CAS), and providing quick-action support for troops against helicopters and ground forces. It entered service in 1976 and is the only production-built aircraft that has served in the USAF that was designed solely for CAS. Its secondary mission is to provide forward air controller – airborne (FAC-A) support, by directing other aircraft in attacks on ground targets. Aircraft used primarily in this role are designated OA-10.
The A-10 was intended to improve on the performance of the A-1 Skyraider and its poor firepower. The A-10 was designed around the 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon. Its airframe was designed for durability, with measures such as 1,200 pounds (540 kg) of titanium armor to protect the cockpit and aircraft systems, enabling it to absorb a significant amount of damage and continue flying. Its short takeoff and landing capability permits operation from airstrips close to the front lines, and its simple design enables maintenance with minimal facilities. The A-10 served in Operation Desert Shield, and Operation Desert Storm, the American intervention against Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, where the A-10 distinguished itself. The A-10 also participated in other conflicts such as Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada, the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq, and against ISIL in the Middle East.
The A-10A single-seat variant was the only version produced, though one pre-production airframe was modified into the YA-10B twin-seat prototype to test an all-weather night capable version. In 2005, a program was started to upgrade remaining A-10A aircraft to the A-10C configuration with modern avionics for use of precision weaponry. The U.S. Air Force had stated the F-35 would replace the A-10 as it entered service, but this remains highly contentious within the Air Force and in political circles. With a variety of upgrades and wing replacements, the A-10's service life may be extended to 2040.

On January 22, 2025,Lyon, France, I had to pick-up my GOMZ Leningrad camera from the repair shop, unfortunately ... not repaired, due to some really stuck pieces. I decided to push my way to Saint-Georges through Saint-Jean*** to purchase some Rollei RPX 400 films to replace the used ones recently.
I brought along again in my bag my beloved year-1976 Olympus OM-1 MD film SLR that is one of my preferred camera of my collection (see bellow for details). The camera was equipped this time with a wide-angle OM-System lens Zuiko Auto-W 1:2.8 f=28 mm and loaded with a Rollei RPX 400 film which is the former formula of the Agfa APX 400. I appreciate this film giving a large tone ranges and quite good image densities even in low light.
For all the frames, the lens was fitted with a generic yellow 49mm screwed filter. The light metering was done through the lens (TTL) for 400 ISO using the camera built-in CdS cell and/or my external lightmeter Minolta Autometer III (at 200 ISO to compensate the filter absorption in the daylight and 320 ISO for artificial tungsten light) with the 10° viewer for selective metering privileging the shadows areas. The weather was milder (8°C) than my last session two days before but still cloudy.

After completion the film was rewound and processed using 350 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer prepared at the dilution 1+25 for 12min30 at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.1.1) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.

About the camera :
My Olympus OM-1 MD was purchased from a local photography shop in Lyon, France, May 31, 2022.
Olympus OM-1 MD was commercially available from 1974 to 1978 and represented the fully mechanical SLR of a new class ("miniature SLR's") , smaller and lighter than any other SLR's of that time. It prefigured the size of most of the SLR's of the 80's.
The kit included the normal lens G.Zuiko Auto-S 1:1.4 f=50 mm in perfect condition, a Zuiko Auto-Zoom 1:4 f=75-150 mm with Olympus original rigid case, a Sigma Tele-Macro x2 converter, a small flash Olympus PE200 (GN 14 at 100 ISO) with case, A Crystal Titanium x 0.48 wide-angle converter (still never tested), and several 49 mm filters.
This specific OM-1 MD was constructed in Jan. 1976 according to the printed reference "ス ("su ") 615" on the back of the film plate.
The OM-system Zuiko Auto-W lens 1:2.8 f=28mm was purchased soon after from an eBay seller. To my experience it is one of the best 28mm lens I have in my collection leading to generally crisp and contrasted images.

*** Saint-Jean is a district of the 5th arrondissement of Lyon. It is one of the three parishes of Old Lyon, with those of Saint-Georges and Saint-Paul, and takes its name from its Primatiale Saint-Jean de Lyon of the Primal of Gaul, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist.
Historic center of Lyon, of the protected perimeter registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site, urban site category recognized with its preserved old historic districts as "one of the most beautiful cities in the world"1 this district is with its pedestrian streets, and its important Renaissance architectural heritage (the most important in the world after Venice) the most important picturesque historic tourist district of Lyon, and one of the high places of Lyonnaise cuisine, with its many shops, restaurants, bouchons lyonnais, brasseries, bistros, and bars.
The A-10's front office is bathed in titanium due to the designer's anticipating the aircraft to operate well within the envelope of small arms fire which has the potential to be very deadly even to aircraft flying through the sky at speeds in excess of 400 miles per hour.
