An A-10 from the 355th Wing at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., delivers a volley of 30-milimeter rounds to a stationary ground target during the Hawgsmoke A-10 gunnery and bombing competition at the Barry Goldwater Range complex in Arizona March 22 to 25. Four pilots from the 442nd Fighter Wing's 303rd Fighter Squadron took first place overall in the competition flying aircraft from the 355th, as their own A-10s are being prepared for an overseas deployment. The competition consisted of two strafing events, a manual bombing competition and employing the AGM-65 "Maverick" missile against moving ground targets. After winning Hawgsmoke '06, the 442nd now has the obligation to host the event in 2008. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Christina D. Ponte)
