A U.S. Air Force crew chief enjoys the snow at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, on January 26, 2021. The Air Force Base is located about five miles outside Tucson so it’s pretty far south. The last time it snowed at Davis-Monthan was approximately two years ago, so the snow was a surprise for maintainers working the flightline.

Davis-Monthan is home to the 355th Wing, which includes the 355th Fighter Group, consisting of 4GWAR’s favorite Air Force jet — the A-10 Lightning II, better known as the warthog, for it’s unusual appearance and rugged reputation as a flying tank.
