I understand you think that is what you saw, but I assure you, no blanks were ever fired from the A-10 and no A-10 30MM blank rounds were ever manufactured. The only types of 30MM manufactured, other than the dummy inert rounds, were HEI, AP and TP.

For the A-10, during civilian airshows, pyrotechnics are placed on the ground to simulate impacts.

Bottom line, no blanks were ever fired from the A-10, no A-10 30MM blank rounds were ever manufactured and the A-10 does not and has never had an on-board smoke dispenser.

I am far from an expert on the A-10, but this leaves me with something of an enigma.
