Pilots conduct CBRN flight training
U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. William Laingen, 74th Fighter Squadron A-10C Thunderbolt II pilot, conducts a pre-flight check at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, Jan. 4, 2023. During the exterior check, pilots walk around the entire aircraft to ensure the hydraulic system has been serviced, verify the number of rounds and weapons loaded, ensure the rudder and elevators flow normally, among many other quality checks. A-10C aircraft offer excellent maneuverability at low airspeeds and altitude while maintaining a highly accurate weapons-delivery platform. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Deanna Muir)
