    A U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) attack aircraft is captured at very low altitude, appearing to land on or take off from a public highway or road. The aircraft's landing gear is deployed and it flies just above the road surface, with a dense mixed forest visible in the background. A state identifier 'MI' (Michigan) is partially visible on the tail, suggesting this may be a Michigan Air National Guard exercise.
