Sounds good Jeff, I'll drop-in as time allows....

Dutchy, thnaks for the comments on my site, I try to keep it "fresh"! I didn't mean there is no A-10 news but, that I have very little time to post it so I don't want the new guys to feel obligated to a deal Jeff and I made.

Jeff was nice enough to let me have two section on this forum a while back to use as the forum for my website. I retired from the AF back in Aug 04 and have now went to work as a contractor with the A-10 SPO. My new job is very demainding so I only have a limited amount of time to spend on forums so, the two section have had very little traffic in the past few months. I still drop in once a day and try to answer any questions which may be posted but, as I said, the sections have been pretty quiet. Please feel free to remove the two section, and myself as a Mod on the forum with no hard feeling what-so-ever on my part. Jeff thanks a lot for the forum space and you helped me out at a time when I really needed it! If you ever need anything from me all you have to do is ask. Good luck in all you do and good luck goys with the website!!

GhostDog you da man! :D

Nope, that's not me (I'm Dice with a new screen name) but that goes to show what happens when pilots have to much time on their hands...it is funny as heck!

Not a problem Growler just what you to have the right info. Hey Mugs nice to see ya around these part!

Hey Mugs are you the Mugs I know from the AF? Growler, there are altimeter antennas on the side of the vert stab which take over at 45 degrees of bank, you should not lose altimeter info while janking and banking unless you go inverted.

Merry Xmas all and a safe and Happy New Year! Man 2004 is going to be a scarry year for me....I retire from the AF after 23+ years! I think the hardest part will be picking out what to ware every day! :D

I answered this question on the LOMAC forum but will answer it here also. As Indy said there is no differance in an A-10 and a O/A-10 except the mission flown. It's a bean counter thing so they can do war planning and have the proper number of A-10 for CAS and FAC(A). Anything an A-10 can carry an O/A-10 can carry. I don't know whay LOMAC limites you to two mavs when you should be able to carry 3 on LAU-88s on both stations for a total of 6 mavs.

Thanks Jeff, I have had trouble for the past three day now and still having problems today. With the LOMAC forums full of newbie who don't know RAM from ROM or IR from radar guided missiles and the flame boys I have just now been able to find good forum reading. Maybe some will start coming here to get away from that crappy forum software UBI uses and we can get some action going here.

Haven't been able to get to the forums for two days now, did LOMAC week kill their bandwidth? :D

Grufus, yea I'm off to Tx all next week for a Precision Engagement meeting, A weeks leave during the holidays, I still have to get the Hog Pen ready for the new year and have everything ready for our A-10 30th Anniversary the first week of Jan...busy, busy, busy! :D

I'll help where I can but the next month is very busy for me.
