Hey Hogfixer our 640 is officially an A-10C and is slated to be turned over to you. We will get 79-129 in return. Funny enough 78-129's nacelle was the one we got out of the boneyard and put on my jet a couple of months ago. "By this time tomorrow I shall have gained either a peerage or Westminster Abbey !"

There are <b>no</b> A-10C model aircraft in service today. All aircraft moded by the PE program are A-10<b>As</b> working under a T-2 Mod package. This is <b>very</b> important to remember because it means the A-10C <b>are not in production</b> and those supporting the ones at Nellis and Eglin are working with raw data and a unfinished design.

hawg166, 640 was officially transferred over to BC on Thursday night. It can't be designated as a "C" model yet, because it's only a T-2 MOD flying for the DT&E program. In theory, if PE doesn't get a fielding recommendation or if the money dries up in order to pay for structural repairs, it gets demodified back to it's original baseline. A recent Air Force Magazine article about aging fighter aircraft leaves a lot of questions for AF Quadrennial Defense Review to answer. ACC Commander Gen. Ronald E. Keys said, “there is always the opportunity for a train wreck” because of all the unknowns of operating a fighter force of unprecedented age. He revealed, for example, that ACC has discovered wing cracks in some of its A-10 attack aircraft. Cracks have formed in some of the “thin-skinned” models that comprise 242 of the 356 A-10s in the inventory. (Later versions have a thicker wing skin.) According to Keys, the problem is serious enough to require him to reassess whether to go forward with a long-planned upgrade for the A-10, one that would include the addition of precision engagement systems and a possible re-engining. “If I have to reskin the wings [as a result of the wing crack], that takes money away from precision engagement,” warned Keys. Alternatively, the Air Force might try to solve the problem by accepting two different types of A-10s—one that can “go to high altitude, ... work at high temperatures, etc.,” and one that can’t. Keys would prefer that whatever stays in the fleet be similarly configured “all-up” aircraft. BY: John A. Tirpak, Air Force Magazine 12/02/2005 |

Hawg166 you'll be getting a good jet! It's our high time jet at B.C. But flies really good! No Gremlins!! It flew so much during OIF that we had to do a contingency phase in theater. It was also the first B.C. jet at Talil! |

Don't talk about gremlins not being in a jet that just got back from PE mod. Lets fly her a bit before jinx'n her. Hate to keep being a nay sayer but assume nothing for these jets coming out of Depot. Until I see a jet that at least has everything from the PE mod kit IN the aircraft I will assume nothing about the install. Hogfixer2001, I'd be interested in some coins/zaps if you bring some. Oh yea, that reminds me. Dice, the coin I owe you is headed back with Bob this week. |
