I doubt engine failure and we know the French didn't knock it out of the sky.

Well, if the French say it's a two seater, then it's a two seater. The French are never wrong, are they?

Wouldn't have to be a double engine failure though. Hydraulics failure and then a problem with manual reversion could cause it. We didn't have too many A-10 crashes at Nellis, but we did have a few.

We had one where a Guard/Reserve Warthog was outbound with a flight to work close air support at Fort Irwin. Pilot winged over and flew into a mountain top, no communications with the rest of the flight, no sound or sign of problems. I believe they tracked it down to cold meds the pilot had taken pre-flight.
