A U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II receives fuel from a KC-135 over central Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Thunderbolt is the first Air Force aircraft specially designed for close air support of ground forces. They are twin-engine jet aircraft that can be used against all ground targets, including tanks and other armored vehicles. The A-10s primary mission is to provide day and night close air combat support for friendly land forces and to act as forward air controller (FAC) to coordinate and direct friendly air forces in support of land forces.
