Hey anyone with the knowledge---Does the A-10 have any internal dispensers or is it all loaded on the wing weapons stations?

none of them are generally loaded on the pylons , and a <font size=1>tiny</font id=size1> amount of research should show you where all of them are.

Well Boomer,
the TINY bit of research I did tells me they are loaded on the pylons. So might you be so kind as to point me in the more accurate direction? Much thanks...

They are NOT loaded on the pylons at all. They are loaded in the wingtips and at the aft end of the wheel pods.

2 good pics showing the chaff/flare boxes under the wingtips and behind the wheel pods

I find it funny when people name themselves after an entity when they dont know dick about it, and are too lazy to research.

POSER!

Okay, I admit it. I know nothing about miniature leviathans. I just wanted everyone to think I did. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

Well, Boomer, Thanks for the info. The research I did was from a website link on this forum, so I guess I gave it more credit than it deserves....
And as for MrMudd's comment about "knowing something about what you name yourself after", I guess we know what his specialty is, then don't we? LOL HogDog was just a name cause I really like the plane!
No, I don't know everything about it, but I have done a lot of "research" and have several books on it, though none say much about countermeasures. Of course they were published b4 they carried air-to-air defenses, so I guess they are getting dated. Sorry if I put anybody off, just figured you guys like to chat about it and wouldn't mind sharing a little of what you know.

I joined this forum by accident.

I was looking for information on a member of the wild pig family known as Phacochoerus aethiopicus or as it's commonly known, the Warthog.

I guess there's a lesson here. But I can't be bothered to learn it…

Probably explains why I never got that Zoology degree…

I joined looking for info on the white winter scheme, got distracted by something else I had information on, and then made a snide remark at Fenderstrat that, somehow, I managed to avoid the well-deserved whalloping he should have given me for it lol (long overdue apologies for that). I'd like to meet (and do like) Fenderstrat, and if he takes a swing, at least I'll remember why. He'll get the beer anyways, if he's so inclined. lol <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
