An A-10 Thunderbolt with the 104th Fighter Squadron of the Maryland Air National Guard at Baltimore practiced landing approaches Sept. 10, 2019, at Young Air Assault Strip on South Post at Fort McCoy, Wis.

The A-10 training was another unique type of training that has taken place at the airstrip in 2019.

Wisconsin Guard members assisted with the training.
