Air support unites Airmen, Soldiers

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan -- Capt. Dylan Thorpe, an A-10 Thunderbolt II pilot, talks about the 30MM cannon on the A-10 with Pennsylvania Army National Guard Soldiers during a recent visit to Bagram's fighter squadrons. Members from the F-15E 391st Expeditionary Fighter Squadron and A-10 75th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron hosted the visit after the Soldiers had expressed a desire to personally thank pilots who fly close-air support missions to support troops on the ground engaged in fire-fights with enemy forces. The A-10's 30mm weapon is a vital asset to Solders on front lines who need close-air support. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Keith Brown)
