SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany -- Taking advantage of a sunny German day, A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft taxi toward takeoff from this fighter base. The 81st Fighter Squadron's A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft, the only ones stationed in U.S. Air Forces in Europe, work closely with NATO countries. The aircraft's capabilities are sought after by U.S. and NATO ground forces to provide close-air support, interdiction and combat search and rescue. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Master Sgt.
