firing of the 30 mm gun, as part of the 2006 Hawgsmoke competition,
Thursday, March 23, 2006, at the Barry-Goldwater Range, Gila Bend Air
Force Auxiliary Field. There are four parts of the competition.
Each team has four members in which they have 100 bullets each to use
toward the target. This year's competition coincides with the 30th
anniversary of the Warthog. Twenty squadrons from around the
world come together to gain the honor of the "best of the best" in
ground attack and target destruction. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior
