Who says A-10's can't land on roads?

Found this recently where some A-10's were landing on a highway in Michigan as part of a training exercise.

They call it THUNDER LZ!  Enjoy!

 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs from both Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Michigan and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona and C-146A Wolfhounds from Hurlburt Field, Florida participated in a training event where they landed and departed from Michigan Highway 32. The highway landings are a part of Exercise Northern Strike 21-2 and marked the first time in U.S. history that a modern military aircraft landed on a U.S. public highway designed only for automobiles.

  

 

I assume they walked the roadway first for any FOD.  

Wouldn't want some road-kill getting sucked into the engines!

 

Thanks and stay safe!

Ward Carroll Videos

 

Recently we came across Ward Carroll and some of the excellent videos he has recently published.

During his 20-year Navy career he served in four different F-14 squadrons and was the operations officer for Carrier Air Wing One.

His videos have some good relevant information for DCS.

Preview of New Syria Map!

Matt Wagner has released a preview video of a strike mission on the upcoming Syria Map.

DCS: Syria is a unique theater of war that includes missions and campaigns of military confrontations in the Middle East from the 60s to the present day. 

This project allows users to apply nearly the entire arsenal of DCS World aircraft, helicopters and ground equipment. It also includes the possibility to re-enact some of the largest military conflicts of our time.

- The Six-Day War of 1967
- The Arab-Israeli conflict of 1973
- The Lebanese War of 1982
- The War on International Terrorism in the 21st Century

The reasons for these conflicts were ideological and economic contradictions not only of the countries of the Middle East, but also of the USA and USSR superpowers. 

DCS: Syria is a symbol of real modern war. The Syria theater will contain military confrontation sites such as Homs Province and the Aleppo Citadel, Golan Heights and the Bekaa Valley. 

Ground-based anti-aircraft missile systems, unmanned aerial vehicles
and air-to-air missiles were used here for the first time on a large scale. About 900 airplanes and helicopters were destroyed during these conflicts.

Safe flights!
