I watched the movie "Courage Under Fire" last night and again this morning, to make sure of what I saw. I was walking away when watching it last night and missed part of it, reason for rewatching this morning.

Anyway......near the end there is a scene when the Huey is leaving after picking Lou Diamond Phillips and the others up from the crash site.
You hear a "familiar whine" and they look out of the chopper to see an A-10 make a pass.
In the quick look I got, did the hog have teeth?
Knowing it was just a movie and all, did the Hogs carry napalm in GW1? lol

you only see it for quick second, but i dont remember seeing teeth. if i remember the hog was painted the "Peanut" camo (tan/brown/dark brown). since ive never seen a hog with napalm on the wings, im going to say no.

if i recall, the only aircraft to drop napalm during GW1 was the Harrier.....but dont quote me on that.

Marine Hornets also apparently dropped napalm to burn off the oil the Iraqis had dumped into trenches. I dont have any info regarding Hawgs dropping napalm.

Brownells calls me Aaron Burr cause the
way I'm droppin Hamilton$

If any was droped by A-10s it would have came out of KFIA But the 23rd Wing didn't use them. We did not turn any aircraft at the FOL up at KKMC with the BLU-27,pretty sure the A-10 did not use them. Some AV-8 Harriers did drop some MK-77 weapons in the first gulf war
