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.
