SRQ spotting (USAF Edition)

Real World Aviation Spotting
1

So this morning I woke up to a text from my friend with a screenshot a a Facebook post saying 3 A10’s were coming to my local airport. So without hesitation I rose from my glorious bed and asked my mom to drive me tn the airport to see them along with an Allegiant special livery.

Enjoy the shots!

They came out with food and stuff so I’d assume. They stopped to refuel.

Training most likely, they didn’t tell us much when we talked to the pilots.
