A U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II with the 303rd Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan, peels away after being in-air refueled by a KC-135 Stratotanker over Eastern Afghanistan, Aug. 16, 2014. The A-10's maneuverability at slow speeds and low altitude has made it one of the most utilized aircraft for close air support throughout Operation Enduring Freedom.
