mkimages Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Wow, never seen that before. It actually makes the darn thing look even more menacing. Great series of shots, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

tomastewart Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 It was my understanding that this 'gas diverter' was not used on operational A-10 because of vibration problems. Is this still the case?

boom175 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Ahh the Battelle gun gas diverter!! They tore the hell out of the gunbay sheet metal!! Vibration probles are right!! we still have them in storage from what I have been told, or we could have gotten rid of them, good riddance!! Actually the 72nd Hasegawa A-10 with AK decals has that diverter in the box. Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I went through RTU at Davis-Monthan with the 333rd and have got some time in that jet - nice to see it's still around. We always called that gas diverter; "The Tickler" and it didn't stick around for long... Hitch Link to post Share on other sites
