Just got back from the McChord AFB airshow...spent 2 days there.

Lots of cool stuff like 3 A-10C's (only one with the BLOS antenna--from Idaho) the other 2 from DM (the one pilot didn't know what I was referring to when I said BLOS), 2 F-22's (no flight demo from either the hawgs or Raptors), an Osprey (look out hogs, your ugly-trophy MAY be in jeopardy!!) among MANY others of course.
But THIS I had never seen before and I (and my son) loved it!! If only I was rich!!!!











And for size reference, I have no idea who the two ladies are, but that is my 8yr old son under the wing!

Niiiiiiice! It looks like its GUA-8 shoots t-shirts or tennis balls.

Not enough clearance to offroad in, but it would be fun driving around the outer loop of San Antonio in it. I bet traffic still wouldn't get out of its way...

Cheers! M2

ooh, that's cool.

are those names on the door someone in the A-10 community or someone else in the AF?
Brig Gen. AJ Stewart
Chief Vance M. Clark

This looks like it is part of the recruiting service, the names are people in that unit. Brig Gen Stewart is the commander (tanker pilot...never flew Hogs).

We've gone from the \"crazy aunt in the closet\" to the front lines of the Air Force public relations message! Who would've thought that 10 years ago?

HogDog, that is cool! Think I could use your shots on my website?

My Little brother was there and put this pic on his MySpace. I want it!!

He also called while I was at work to ask me about the DM hogs. Shame I couldn't talk to him and get the pilot's names.

Looks like somebody in the Higher Up, pull their head out of their a$$ long enough to realize that there is beauty in ugly, and that there's something to be said for the biggest rotary cannon aloft. It's about time she got her due.

Weasel- I didn't get the pilots' names, but they are not members from this forum, I did ask that in case it was one of you guys!

Dice- feel free to use any of these pics. Can you pull them right off of this post, or do you need me to send em to ya? I downsized them for posting, so if you want the bigger ones, let me know!

Thanks HogDog, I can pull the ones from here, the sizes will be just fine I think.
