A-10 LOADER Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Nice job Raptor01, looks good. BTW, this jet, 81-0981, served with my former unit, the 111th FW at Willow Grove ARS. She now still serves with the 355th at Davis-Monthan AFB. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AMMOTroopUSAF Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I was station at RAF Woodbridge 82-84 and DM 93-04 so I've seen that Hog as a piglet and an old boar... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Good job! I start to like the Euro1 camo A-10 more and more. I remember my teenage years to see them flying low level over my hometown and they had that special whisteling sound. Meanwhile I know that most of them came from GAF airfield Leipheim. So it was a bit special to the 81st TFW that time: 2 sqn belonged to the 2nd detachment in Germany. From April 1, 1979 to end of 1988 the 92nd TFS was in the detachment and after that until sept. 25, 1992 the 91st TFS. It was a rotation. Always a third of the sqn was in south Germany. Anybody knows what was the job of the 78th bushmasters in Woodbridge? AFAIK they did not join the detachments!? That's why I would like to build such a hog from the 92nd or the 91st TFS. But the Xtradecal sheet 006-48 is oop!! Too bad.... The 91st has my fave: I like the blue and white stripe on top of the rudders! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 According to Osprey's Superbase 3, Ramstein, the 81TFW had 6 squadrons spread across RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge, for a total of ~100 A-10A's. 78th and 91st TFS were at Woodbridge, while 92nd, 509th, 510th and 511th at Bentwaters. All 6 squadrons took rotation to the forward operating bases in Germany, each deployment consisting of 8 aircraft at a time. Detachment 1 was at Sembach, Detachment 2 at Leipheim, Detachment 3 at Ahlhorn and Detachment 4 at Norvenich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aircommando130 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Great job on the A-10! I always liked the Warthog...it earned it's place during Desert Storm. Unfortunately the AF is trying to get rid of the best close air attack airplane ever! Love those old monogram kits...I think I have one in my stash.
