Delicate hands

Delicate care is given while preparing munitions for Hawgsmoke 2008 while Mother Nature brings rain to the first day of the bienniel A-10 competition being held in Salina, Kan. Munitions specialists from the 442nd Maintenance Squadron prepared BDU-33 practice bombs for the event, which will test A-10 pilots' abilities to employ the weapon system at the nearby Smoky Hill Range. The 442nd Fighter Wing, an Air Force Reserve unit based at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., is hosting this year's Hawgsmoke. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Kent Kagarise)
