Thunderbolt II 'Warthog' flying over
HAWAII (July 31, 2012) - The view of an A-10 Thunderbolt II 'Warthog' flying over the Big Island as it follows a C17 Globemaster III during RIMPAC 2012 aerial exercises. The flights were part of an air drop event during the biennial Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2012 is the 23rd exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Navy photo by MC2 Daniel Barker)
