I found this photo link of that very same A-10A back in July of 1982 when it had the "Charcoal Lizard" paint scheme.:wink:

COOL!
Id love to know how this all came about. When was the idea floated? whos idea was it? Did they have to buy it from the boneyard? How was it funded? .. I wish we could get more heads up on proposals and maybe even try to raise funds for future projects. What if we wanted to get an old E-2, or F-14? Im sure the museum would love it but cant afford it. Maybe we could help?Quote:

Saw a picture that the A-10 is out on the tarmac by the AAM looking nice!!
FYI, there's a nice article in Newsday today, "Welcome Home, Warthog"
about the AAM adding the storied A-10 aircraft to its military collection.:cool:
Here's the link from Newsday's website also:

BTW, after seeing this cool photo below of all of the AAM's Republic "THUNDER" aircraft together,
they definitely need to add a new banner up on their Hangar that says:
"Welcome to THUNDER ALLEY":cool:

It was great seeing the A-10 up close out on the tarmac today at the AAM for their "HOG WILD" weekend.:cool:

As per the post above, I went out to the AAM for a first hand look at their new A-10. It is a great looking airplane and it really rounds out their Republic collection. Here are some shots:

Nice shots, Isaac !:cool:
Anybody know what was happening at FRG last evening? I was passing by after 8pm while driving down New Highway and saw lots of cars parked along the road. Seemed like something was going on in or around the AAM with a lot of people milling about.
It was the Wounded Warrior dinner at the AAM.
Does Trump still have his Sikorsky S-76? Havent seen it around in a long time!! Last summer it was a pretty regular visitor over by Atlantic at FRG.
He does. It was at KPHL last weekend.
Ah, thanks.Quote:

Guess the fine folks at Talon want some privacy. They do a lot of MX work in that hangar with the doors wide open, so, I kind of understand it.
And they have a high end clientele also so I can understand it, just looking at it from a Spotters POV :frown:Quote:

Just noticed today that the old Sikorsky S-58T helicopter they used for fire fighting practice by where the blimp crews set up is gone, replaced by a smaller fixed wing!! I guess unceremoniously dumped into the scrap heap!! :frown:
I heard there was filming going on today over by Sheltair. Anyone have any idea what TV show it's for ?
I haven't been able to get over there myself yet and was just curious.
A Super Hornet came in around 2:30 parked by Sheltair. Part of the filming?Quote:

Just heard something fast go over my job Iin West Babylon, knew it wasn't civilian. by the time I got outside it was already out of sight. gentlemen outside saide he saw it and was an F-22, knew that was unlikely out of Republic! Anyone know if the Super Hornet is coming back?
I think it's still there just moved it a little north of where it was.
sweet! I wonder how long it will be there? I can't make it over there today.
Heard they left an hour later!!Quote:

Yeah, I didn't see any Super Hornet over by Sheltair this evening, but they were filming a military scene
for the new CBS TV show "Madam Secretary" by the Old Tower with 2 L-39s from the the AAM.
Heard it go over a little after 5:00, drove up New Highway around 6:15 and there was nothing going on except the filming.
Pretty cool they were in the right place at the right time!Quote:
