Many thanks in advance Kevin <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote> 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... <img src="http://www.warthogpen.com/fame_files/2052.jpg" border=0> 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! http://www.warthogpen.com |
