Second Lieutenant Aaron Cavazos taxis an A-10 Thunderbolt II after completing the first A-10C pilot initial qualification course Aug. 2 at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz. During the seven-month-long qualification course, the training focused on the new A-10C platform which replaced the A-10A. The pilots also learned the basics of being attack pilot wingmen, which included flying in formation to provide mutual support, communicate with radios and kill the assigned target on the first attempt. Lieutenant Cavazos is assigned to the 357th Fighter Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Christina D. Ponte)
