In a team effort with @peteschriever, the U.S. Air Force’s A-10C Thunderbolt II Demonstration Team out of @davismonthan_afb visited #USAFA with an impressive display of the aircraft’s capabilities.
 
Cadets also got the unique opportunity to meet the maintenance crew and pilots of the @a10demoteam, shake hands and ask questions.
 
The A-10s are packed to the brim with features. From low-speed maneuverability, highly accurate weapons delivery, night vision imaging systems, and its iconic 30mm GAU-8/A Gatling gun, which can fire 3,900 rounds a minute, it was again a stark reminder to all who attended, after 50 years of faithful service, why the @usairforce can’t quit the A-10.
