BDL and National Guard

[Zee71]

I didn't have much of a chance to do any spotting at BDL (Bradley International Airport), or even visit the New England Air Museum during my recent trip. I was able to get some of the following shots.

Interesting markings on that A-10! Nice shots, Mark.

Love the A-10 markings, and nice comp on the 2nd Hog in particular; wouldn't want to be facing that down myself :-)

Awesome, I love the Dagger, I hate the fact that they use them as target drones

Good stuff Mark. Glad to see they let you take pics of the gate guards at the NG station. Last time I asked, the guard told me "I cannot authorize any photography at this time".
