warthog984 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 @shepp.....there was one design flaw on this beast. Look at your picture on the prior page. All the gun gas goes into the motors. After so many rounds are fired, the engines start to lack full power. Crew Chiefs would perform engine water washes to clean the compressor and fan blades. @edgecrusher....I was TDY at Barnes in Massachusetts when I was sent TDY from Germany to Vegas. Our Squadron did a pit stop there. I believe that was the 104th. I know they had A10s there in the middle 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue109 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 hardly a day goes by I don't see those beautiful pigs dancing around base. my drive home from work takes me directly under the landing approach. sometimes I try to time it just right so that they come out of the bank and drop right toward my car, and try to imagine how scary it would be to be a bad guy.
