A-10s create nostalgic feeling during media day Published July 16, 2015 By Senior Airman Nigel Sandridge 48th Fighter Wing Public Affairs ROYAL AIR FORCE LAKENHEATH, England -- A Theater Security Package of A-10C Thunderbolt II's and Airmen from the 355th Fighter Wing, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., participated in flying operations at Royal Air Force Lakenheath this week. Pilots and maintenance members received an opportunity to trade knowledge and train in a contrasting climate for support of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, while local media outlets were able to take photos and speak with the visiting crew. "The A-10's are here in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve," said Capt. Jessica Wyble, 354th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron pilot. "We're reassuring our allies of our commitment to NATO." Media members drove in from all over the country, some commuting up to 220 miles just to witness the sight of A-10's on RAF Lakenheath. "The opportunity to see the A-10's fly is amazing," said Lawrence Clift, Sideways media photographer. "I remember seeing them fly as a kid, so I brought my son, so he could experience it." Over the duration of their visit, the A-10's participated in training missions with RAF Lakenheath's F-15C Eagles, to enhance interoperability. "Today's experience was fantastic," said James Ronayne, Aviation News assistant editor. "Being so close to such an iconic aircraft, like the A-10, is not an opportunity you get every day."
