Four U.S. Air Force A-10A Thunderbolts shimmer in the desert heat waves as they taxi out for a combat patrol mission over Iraq from the Ahmed Al-Jaber Air Base, Kuwait, on March 12, 1998.  The Thunderbolts of the 74th Fighter Squadron are deployed from the 23rd Fighter Group, Pope Air Force Base, N.C.  The A-10's of the 74th have been flying since 1994 in support of Operation Southern Watch, which is the U.S. and coalition enforcement of the no-fly-zone over Southern Iraq.  DoD photo by Airman 1st Class Greg L.
