Maintainers with the 23rd Maintenance Group place the chocks under the
first A-10C Thunderbolt II Aug. 7 at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. This
aircraft is the first of approximately 50 upgraded A-10Cs moving to the
base as a part of a force realignment. The move is expected to be
complete in early spring 2008. The upgrades enable the A-10C to deliver
the Air Force's latest generation of precision guided munitions and
improve the A-10's communications capabilities, allowing the aircraft
to share detailed information with ground-based warfighters. (U.S. Air
