Is that a Canadian A-10?
>>Is that a Canadian A-10?
I don’t believe so, though I don’t know how to confirm one way or another. It was flying in formation as part of the air show at Edwards AFB on 10/26/2006. This was actually one of those times when they try to get your attention trained on the flight line and then they have someone sneak up behind you. P51’s just don’t sneak as well as modern jets. :)
An interesting thing to note about that particular A-10 is the fake cockpit painted on the underbelly. The announcer at the show specifically called attention to it and said that it’s done to confuse the enemy as to the aircraft’s orientation.
I also have a photo of the only two seater A-10 in existence, taken that same day. It was on static display, with a plaque identifying it as the only one of its kind.
