Just stunning
A black and grey U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II from the Indiana Air National Guard’s 122nd Fighter Wing “Blacksnakes,” painted at the Air National Guard paint facility in Sioux City, Iowa on July 2, 2021. In a departure from the standard A-10 two-tone grey, the paint scheme was created by request in order to commemorate the 100th anniversary of aviation in the Indiana National Guard.
