Default A-10 at Apollo 11 Field

Hey Guys, I was just wondering if anyone has any info on the A-10 that was at the Apollo Field near Van Nuys this past weekend (9/14).

Size, turbines, kit, etc etc?

Sorry for the quality.. only had my phone with me.


Thanks

Thanks guys... gotta love forums.


I'm new to the area... where is the Basin?

Is that the 1/6 Skymaster F-16 as well in the background?
