Strafing run
Maj. Aaron Linderman, an A-10 pilot from the 303rd Fighter Squadron, fires the 30-milimeter gun from an A-10 Thunderbolt II during a strafing run at Cannon Range near Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo., June 20, 2007. The 303rd FS is part of the Air Force Reserve's 442nd Fighter Wing based at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo. The wing flies to Cannon Range virtually every day to ensure its pilots stay proficient in the close air support mission the A-10 was designed for. Cannon Range, managed by the Missouri Air National Guard's 131st Fighter Wing, plays a crucial role in the training and readiness of pilots from Reserve, Guard and active-duty units from all over the United States.
