An A-10 Thunderbolt II, flies over the targets after firing its 30mm
gun at a low angle strafe, 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, and
each team has four members in which they have 100 bullets each to use
towards 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 Airman
