Searching on the internet i can only find pictures of the famous two-seater, just like in books. And i was searching for a flying video. A vid where the plane moves. Is there a video where you can see it fly?

ps.on Edwards has the two-seater his original color back, don't know if the Owl on the nose is also painted.

Dutchy, I have a lot of vids of the A-10B flying (to much to upload to the net) what are you looking for?

Nothing special, i never saw it flying on video. Only on pics. I know it sounds stupid. But i was curious to see it fly.
See mine mails with pictures how it looks now.

Dutchy, it's not stupid very few people have seen it fly either in real life or on video so, here's an 11 min. (12.5MB) video showing it fly and the avionics in action. Sorry I had to reduce the quality and FPS but, that's the price I (and I guess you) pay for me being on dial-up.

Thanks for the pics, I'll add them to my NAWs page on my next update.

NAWs A-10 in action....

Hawg166, as far as I know there were no full size mock-up of the A-10B built, only cockpit trainers. Boomer at what point (I've reviewed the film twice at higher rez and see nothing) do you see this second 2-seater....or are you just pulling peoples chains?? :lol:

Boomer makes jokes :D
The only twoseater is......(see mine signature)
I am happy with the video.
In the book i read they talked about the problems with nightflying at Desert Storm. I read that and thought that maybe a squadron Two-seaters was good to solved that problem in those days.
