8/19/2011 - Lt. Col. Douglas Sirk, 81st Fighter Squadron pilot from Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, explains some of the switches in the cockpit of his A-10 Thunderbolt II, to Michael Anguladze, at the Moscow International Aviation and Space Salon, or MAKS 2011, here Aug. 19. MAKS is one of the premier events of its type in the world and Department of Defense participation demonstrates the United States commitment to international security, promotes international cooperation, and contributes to U.S. foreign policy objectives. The U.S. Air Force has a KC-10 Extender, two F-16C Fighting Falcons, two A-10 Thunderbolt II, one F-15E Strike Eagle, one B-52 Stratotanker, C-130J Super Hercules and C-5M Galaxy statics for the show.
