Photography by Rick Llinares Text by Seth J. Miller A USAF Weapons School F-16 blasts into action from Nellis AFB, Nev., on June 6, 2012. AIR FORCE Magazine / September 2012 85 he USAF Weapons School is Ta key factor in keeping the Air Force’s qualitative edge. Every six months, a new class of top airmen receives training in the finer points of their weapons system and how it integrates with the Air Force as a whole. Before graduation, the class of roughly 90 students must pass the Mission Employment (ME) phase—a capstone exercise to demonstrate tactical expertise. ME includes flying exercises and takes place at the Ne- vada Test and Training Range. |1| A Weapons School F-22 soars above the training range during a June 13 Mission Employment flying window called a “vul” —short for vulnerability period. |2| L-r: Lt.

Thirty Years On, USAF's A-10 Units Are Going Strong, Moving out with New
Thirty years on, USAF’s A-10 units are going strong, moving out with new weapons, targeting pods, avionics, and training. 21st Century Warthog Photography by Guy Aceto and Paul Kennedy On the flight line at Pope AFB, N.C., a brace of A-10 Warthog attack aircraft are readied for a training mission. The A-10 is famed for a nose-mounted 30 mm Gatling gun and great ruggedness. Also notable is a new feature—the Litening II laser targeting pod—seen on these aircraft. 34 AIR FORCE Magazine / June 2005 Photo by Guy Aceto 21st Century Warthog AIR FORCE Magazine / June 2005 35 he A-10A Thunderbolt II, known Tto all as the Warthog, began as a down-and-dirty killer of Soviet tanks. Photo by Paul Kennedy Today it employs a wide variety of muni- tions and is no longer just a flying gun platform. New generation weapons make it more accurate and deadly. Enhanced navigation capabilities, the Low-Altitude Safety and Targeting Enhancement (LASTE) system, a night vision goggle- compatible cockpit, and other improve- ments have made the A-10 effective for combat in the 21st century. The first production A-10 arrived at Davis- Monthan AFB, Ariz., in October 1975, nearly three decades ago.
