X-WR-CALDESC:Join us on Thursday\, June 2 at 7:00 pm as we celebrate the 50
 th Anniversary of the first flight of the A-10 Warthog with a discussion a
 nd book signing given by Ken Neubeck\, former Fairchild Republic Company e
 ngineer. The talk will take place in our Hangar Two Jet Gallery in front o
 f our A-10. Books will be available for purchase.\n\nThe A-10 Thunderbolt 
 II\, nicknamed the Warthog\, is the most effective close-air support aircr
 aft in the US Air Force inventory. The close-air support mission by the A-
 10 is critical to support US ground troops when they are threatened by ene
 my tanks and artillery. The Warthog proved to be a key weapon during Opera
 tion Desert Storm in 1991 when it destroyed many Iraqi ground targets\, in
 cluding almost 1000 tanks. The A-10 would distinguish itself in subsequent
  conflicts in Europe\, Asia and Africa\, and it still serves today\, 50 ye
 ars after its first flight which occurred in May of 1972!\n\nThe presenter
 \, Ken Neubeck worked on the A-10 program at the Fairchild Republic Compan
 y as a reliability engineer\, beginning in 1974 when the A-10 Warthog prod
 uction program began. After the company closed in 1987\, he continued to w
 ork in the aerospace field and has written three books on the A-10 Warthog
 \, including his recent book\, The A-10 Thunderbolt II: Fairchild Republic
 ’s Warthog at War (Schiffer). The presentation will cover the history of t
 he A-10 program up to its present time.\n\nThis event is free but reservat
 ions are required\,..\n\nPlease RSVP to reservations@cradleofaviation.org
