Nope, that's all the info available. Thought someone might have a cross reference on the pilot. Someone else thought it might be "Chopper Popper".

I did find this and the aircraft is assigned to the 103rd (78-0646) but, the pilots name doesn't match. Wonder if the company could have their info wrong on the "Operation Iraqi Freedom" aircraft tail number/pilots name, which we all know happens a lot with things like this? <img src="http://www.warthogpen.com/art_files/78-0646.JPG" border=0> Visit my A-10 website at http://www.warthogpen.com |

I'll see if I can track down anyone associated with the company. Their other planes are very well done and researched. Would hate for this to be the first one to slip.

Dice, supposedly the aircraft is 78-0707. If my memory serves me correctly (always a crap shoot), this aircraft was delivered from Hagerstown to the 174FW at Syracuse. When the 174th coverted to lawn darts (fast ass CAS)it was transfered to the 103rd where it has lived ever since. OC Some days it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints |
