<img src="http://www.warthogpen.com/bs/79-0166.jpg" border=0>

The book has over a 150 A-10 door and nose art pictures, if you like A-10 art this book is a must have.

WOW. That's really cool. I know the pilot that flew that jet; he's at Whiteman now. Awesome guy - met him at Barksdale while he was going through the TX course and actually got him back in touch with Goose at that time.

Goose, you talk to Root lately?

Is this the door off of Goose's jet?

DICE,

I HAVE BEEN DOING SEARCHES FOR HOURS TRYING TO RUN DOWN WHO PAINTED THE DOORART ON 0166 AND THE HOST OF OTHER 23RD/76TFS JETS IN THE LATE 80'S.
MINE WAS NEVER SIGNED BUT I KNOW IT WAS DONE BY A LOCAL ARTISIT.
WHOEVER DID THE TIGER 1 ART,VANGUARD ONE ART,ETC... DOWN THE LINE.
PLUS SOME 74TH AND 75TH JETS BEFORE THE GREAT "SANDING OCCURED" OVER ON THE SOUTH RAMP.
THE ARTISIT HAD TO HAVE DONE 20+ HOG DOORS BETWEEN 87-89 AND LIKE EVERYONE TOOK A PICTURE FOR HISTORY.
IF WE HAD A NAME,AND HAS PICTURES IT WOULD BE THE "HOLY EAFB DOORART" FIND AND A SLAM-DUNK FOR YOUR BOOK DICE.
I'LL KEEP SEARCHING
GOT ANY IDEAS?

Goose, Nigel (one of our friends from the UK) had an idea, how about writing to the local paper in LA and see if they would could run an appeal article asking the locals for help. They could tie it into the Hawgsmoke 2004 with something like "Hawgsmoke 2004 renews interest in local A-10 history" or something like that. You could also mention the book I'm trying to write.

Good luck Bro!!!

Hey Donni! Tell Root we found his door. Seems a little hardcore for the smiling HAWG we know! But hey! Cool anyways!

YUP. That's ROOT alright! He was responsible for the same kind of loving and pure acts, like obliterating Iraqi artillery, hunting down HVT’s and treating other targets like most dog treat a fire hydrants, as he did in the past. And he always had a grin coming out of the plane.

JUST NEVER CALL HIM "FLOUNDER",
THE OP'S GUYS TOLD ME I HAD NO BALLS UNLESS I PAINTED FLOUNDER ON THE JET,I TOLD THEM "NO-F---ING WAY" I TAKE CARE OF MY PILOT,HE TAKES CARE OF ME THATS LAW"
