Hi there

Anyone know how many missions 77-0256 Crawfish flew in Desert Storm whilst part of the 706 TFS?

Also any ideas on the kill markings too?

Many thanks
Kevin

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT "CHOPPER POPPER"?
AND THEY CALL IT A "CRAWLDAD" ACTUALLY I THINK ITS BEEN CALLED A "SRIMP "TOO DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASKED.

AINT THAT THE JET ON THE POLE DICE AT THE AFA?

I think you guys are a little confushed here, all the A-10 from the 706th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 926th Tactical Fighter Group, New Orleans Louisiana, out of King Fahd Air Field Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia carried a crawfish on the nose, it was the squadron's mascott.

77-205 was named the Chopper after downing a BO-105 helo with the GAU-8A. The nose art show a crawdad with a chopper in one claw...

Some jets had tanks in the crawdad's claw and other symbols meaningfull to the pilot or graound crews but all have a crawfish.

Ugly but well hung!

ITS A CRAWDAD,CRAWFISH,MUDBUG,TASTY WITH SEASONING AND POTATOES,ONIONS AND CORN WITH COLD BEER!!!!!!

IF YOU GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO IT IT LOOKS LIKE A "SRIMP"(OR FOR SOME SHRIMP)

SAME PLANE DICE,WE WOULD KID THOSE 706TH GUYS ABOUT IT
