An A-10 Thunderbolt II lands on a Michigan state highway in Alpena, Mich., Aug. 5, 2021. Two A-10s from the 354th Fighter Squadron and two A-10s from the Michigan Air National Guard’s 127th Wing landed on the state highway as part of Northern Strike 21, a large-scale training exercise. This is the first time in history that the Air Force has purposely landed modern aircraft on a civilian roadway in the U.S. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Alex M. Miller)
