A line of A-10C Thunderbolts was blanketed in snow during a winter storm in Michigan last week.
Photos of the snowy landscape required a double take, with the A-10s appearing like illustrations.
The aircraft fleet, part of the 127th Wing, stood ready to operate, regardless of the weather.

Michigan was pummeled with cold temperatures and whiteout conditions as the state's biggest storm of the season hit on Friday, with some areas reaching almost a foot of snowfall.

Aircraft parked at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Harrison Township, Michigan, were also caught in the storm, making for a hard-to-believe scene on the airfield.
