ROYAL AIR FORCE LAKENHEATH, England -- An A-10 Thunderbolt II from the
81st Fighter Squadron at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, takes off from
here and heads toward a bombing range. The Excalibur bombing
competition was established to foster friendly relations between U.S.
Air Forces in Europe and NATO, to increase esprit de corps among pilots
and to show basic visual bombing skills. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff
