Icarus flew too close to the sun, but at least he flew.

Pretty sure that A10 picture is from a training exercise a few years ago where they landed planes on M-32 in Northern Michigan.

^^^That is the story. It’s M-32 close to Alpena as part of 2021’s Northern Strike. Video of A-10 landing on M-32 They did the same thing on M-28 in the UP in 2022.
We see A-10s and other military aircraft flying along the lake every year and I can’t help but feel a sense of national pride every-time.

Yup, A-10s from my former unit, 127th Wing at Selfridge ANGB. In my time, we flew A-7D.

A couple of years ago, I learned that Elmer Bigelow, a Medal of Honor recipient, was buried in a small cemetery in rural northern Illinois. We've made a point of visiting his grave every Memorial Day to pay our respects. A couple of years ago, I happened to be there when some of his family members were there and got to meet some great folks.

Cambridge American Cemetery. Always visit when we are in the area. Americans that served in WWII and did not make it home. Never forget…
