Two U.S. Air Force pilots from the 442d Fighter Wing observe as an A-10C Thunderbolt II provides close air support during a training exercise at Avon Park Air Force Range, Fla. By observing from a ground perspective alongside Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs), pilots gain critical insights into the synchronization of air and ground forces, enhancing the lethality and effectiveness of future combat operations.
