About This Item

Thunder and Lighting!

US Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt
*********************Update***************************I WON THE RACE!!!!!***
**On November 20th, 2007, I was the first plane to make it back to my owners. Let's see if I can make it back to CaptRussell or KBI near Atlanta, GA! ---------------------------------

I'm racing three other "Flying the Friendly Skies" (FTFs) airplanes back to Michigan. Each of these Travel Bugs are being dropped for the first leg of their journey by our good friend "CaptRussell". Hopefully the friendly skies will allow this bug a safe journey out into the world and back again.

Uh-oh! Retrieved this TB on the way to Sarnia, but will try to leave time on the return trip to DTW to redrop it. Otherwise, it's on its way to Alaska.

This could have been a major navigational error. Thunderbolt nearly made the wrong turn in the vicinity of Detroit Metro Airport. Thunderbolt was almost retrieved instead of discovered. Had Thunderbolt been retrieved by myself it likely would have found its way to CYXU (London - Ontario - International Airport instead of taking a course towards Georgia. Now I am glad I left Thunderbolt in Down on the Farm by the Airport and logged only a discovery instead of a retrieval. Good luck with the journey. Thanks for sharing.

I dropped this off at the airport so it can take off and hopefully make it to Georgia where it wants to fly to. Hopefully it doesn't make a wrong turn when taking off.

I picked this TB up from Under the big blue sky. I agree with the previous finder that the name of the cache was appropriate. I will see where I can fly this Thunderbolt to next.
