Dude! It looks REAL!

Wow!!!

JAWS is an F-16 guy in his unit's engine shop. He knows his stuff. As he said, the jet you've shown in the pic isn't undergoing 'maintenance.' It's merely getting a quick check. Opening up the panels over the gun isn't a 'quick check.' that is only done during routine inspections during phase or when the gun breaks. Either way, the jet's explosives (weapons and cartridges in the pylons/bomb racks) are downloaded. A jet in a hangar, for obvious reasons, has no live ordnance loaded, which is why finding photos of A USAF JET depicted as such isn't likely to happen. The super Hornet pic you referenced is also only undergoing a quick check. the avionics panels along its nose are quickly opened and checked during the preflight and post flight, but the same rules apply--before it's towed into the ship's hangar bay, all explosive ordnance is downloaded.

It went through the whole weekend.

Huge savings on books and decals!! www.reidairpublishing.com

Nice stuff Dave! Jake

You should have gotten a confirmation right away. It didn't show up?

Now taking pre-orders!! Expected ship date is 1 December, if not sooner. www.reidairpublishing.com $39.95

Great job! That is beautiful. Jake

All A-10 cockpits to date are pre-LASTE with the exception of the Black Box set. That is a late 90s post-LASTE A-10A. I'd like to see an A-10A+ and A-10C cockpit set. Looking forward to your offerings, Gary. Jake

Try the sheet from Speed Hunter. It'll get you the crew name blocks, tail flash, black stenciling, and Wing/Squadron badges. Then use black spares for the WA and serials. Jake

Fantastic work on the exhaust!!! Jake
