Maj. Matthew Domsalla, flying an A-10C Thunderbolt II Nov. 5, makes the first ever drop of a Laser Joint Direct Attack Munition, or LJDAM, from an A-10. This test proved a successful integration of the munition with the A-10, allowing for an outstanding precision targeting capability that will help Air Force aircrews continue to provide effective air support to coalition ground troops. Major Domsalla is with the 40th Flight Test Squadron at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Joy Josephson)
