This was the last A-10 built and had my name on it for awhile when I was based with the 74th TFS, 23rd TFW at England AFB.

I just got the new A-10 book by Don Logan, and it doesn't show this jet with any current units. I also checked the D-M \"Boneyard\" list and it doesn't show up there either.

Anyone have any definite proof of where this jet is today?

Thanks in advance,
Hitch

DM, 354th specifically. I saw it in Bagram when we took over for them last year.

Yep she currently resides in the Bulldogs. Junk Junk 5 as we called her.

ok well my memory is shot! I thought it was at Woodbridge at one time, also did it go to pope and moody throughtout the years?

This is from the website made by the famous A-10 historian Dice-man.

Not at all Dutchy my friend, that's what my sites there for.

GEH737, if you have anything to add to the history of this aircraft (pictures, stories, ect) feel free to send it in and I'll add it to the history of "The last tiger."

Hitch,

last saw her at DM in August 2005.

Some parts looked to be missing though.

Cheers, André

Dice...wasn't she at Moody with us back in the day? I think KW was her ADCC if I remember correctly....

PK,

I do remember it being stationed here at Moody, can't say for sure if KW was the ACC or not but it sound right

I think the 'newest' Hog they ever had at Woodbridge was 82-658, which was with the 78th TFS.

Prkii, yes it was at Moody, if you read the link posted by Dutchy you'll see she was at England, DM, Moody, and back to DM.

Hitch is having login issues but should be back posting soon.

I know TSgt (ret.) Tom Gero was the DCC for a while at DM. I'll fire him an E-mail and maybe he can pop on and give his input. If I remember right, he was pretty keen on her history.

I gotta call KW (now Mr. KW)in a few, I can find out.

--Raven

Yes... KW was the assitant on 665, was one of his first jets. Also, he told me to say \"What's up\" Dice.

--Raven

Speaking of Mr. KW....I heard he was heading back to Georgia...I need to shoot him a call and see whats what.... When you talk to him tell him Snoopy say's hello....

_________________

prkii:
He hit the road for GA yesterday evening, so you may see him real soon. He's got a job lined up there at WR working F-15s. Next time I get ahold of him, I will be sure to pass it on.

--Raven

I heard last night from Andy at Nellis what happened with KW. They had said when we were TDY there in November he wasn't gonna get boned too bad. That sucks.

I'll shoot him a call....Is he going to Texas first? Glad he jot a job, I use to work in F-15s a few years back, I'm in the Maint Wing QA office now.....looks like W/R will never be the same....

ahh if you look at goose's thread in the door art section you will see 655 that is where i messed up 655 not 665, well that was almost 18 years ago, cant expect my memory to be that good!

JB

Could someone clue me in on what happen to KW (email or PM) I always thought he was a good guy and would hate to see him get boned for some dumb shit.

Lastraven, let KW know I said hi and hope him the best down in Ga.

PM sent

jack,
I sent Dice an meail as well. BTW, he didn't really get \"boned\", his career was just (Honorably) cut shorter than expected. He's actually doing quite well now.

--Raven

Raven/Jack, thanks for the info guys, that sucks but at least he is landing on his feet with a job at WR.

LastRaven &/or PK,

If you talk to KW, let him know \"Pop-a-Cap\" says hello and if he needs anything to give me a holler. Oh and tell him he still OWES me for his first trip to Vega$
