First three A-10s leave Barksdale
U.S. Air Force Capt. Taylor Petty gets strapped in by Tech. Sgt. Robert Berg prior to a sortie, April 8, 2013, Barksdale Air Force Base, La. This sortie marks the last time Berg will strap a pilot into his aircraft, an A-10 Thunderbolt II, since it is among the first three aircraft selected to leave Barksdale in preparation of the inactivation of the 917th Fighter Group.
