U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolts arrived on Guam last week for a dynamic force employment operation that aims to foster unpredictability in overseas deployments, the service said in a news release Wednesday.

The attack planes, part of the 23rd Air Expeditionary Wing, flew from Moody Air Force Base, Ga., to Andersen Air Force Base.

“The United States is committed to being ready to execute missions quickly in unpredictable ways and rapidly respond to adversary moves within and across theaters of operation,” the release said.

I bet that last leg across the Pacific was a chore, A10s are not the fastest birds. I wonder if they jumped out of the cockpits to pee immediately upon landing...LOL

I concur, I just noticed the A-10s the other day, parked on the flight line.
