Just two 10s looking at each other 😏 Whether it's saving lost boaters in Florida or acting as an aerial buzzsaw downrange, the A-10 is an aircraft for all seasons—and the 59th Test and Evaluation Squadron ensures it stays that way 🪚 📸 MSgt Nathan Lipscomb

For when you *really* wanna break bad guys’ stuff… From the very first operational B-1B to its continued use in operations around the globe, squadrons like the 337th Test and Evaluation Squadron have been there—guaranteeing the Bone is combat-ready at a moment’s notice 🦴

Great air show? Or greatest air show ever? 🤔 The 82nd Aerial Targets Squadron flew out to the Gulf Coast Salute Airshow earlier this month, giving us a look under the hood of the U.S. Department of War's full-scale aerial target program. 📸 SrA Zeeshan Naeem

The BRRRTT that keeps on BRRRTTing #ICYMI, the A-10 was approved for an additional year of service by @secafofficial , keeping the Warthog flying through 2030. In the meantime, teams like the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron keep it combat-credible... Test after test, 30mm round after 30mm round 🎯 📸 2nd Lt. Shane Milligan

"Do a barrel roll" 🙃 We test the F-15EX Eagle II in freezing temperatures, in sandstorms, and—yes—even upside down to ensure that what our warfighters need from the Eagle II, they get. 📸 Tech. Sgt. Thomas Barley

There are missile trucks, and then there are 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵 missile trucks. We test and evaluate the F-15EX Eagle II so it can stay dropping 14 tons of death before the bad guys even hear it coming. #DeliverTrustedLethality 📸 SSgt Blake Wiles

Best part about staying ready? Not having to get ready. Our Airmen at @eglinafb put it all into action during Warrior Day last week, a chance for them to come together as a team and hone their warfighting edge. How do YOU stay ready?
