been 25 years since an A-10 rolled off an assembly line. the company is long gone.. off long island now, making gunsights and cameras and such. fairchild don't build anything that flys anymore... they just make the stuff that flys fly better.(tm)

great plane, tho. nice fit for the role.

ALL,

I stand corrected, it was in fact and female Pilot, Capt. Kim Campbell,
I assumed that he was flying, this is not the case.

Ya, it was definately a woman pilot from bay area, ca. She has a husband that is also flying over in Iraq.


I think the "HE" that sent you this & said it happened to him is, well...hmmmm...

Anyways, glad whoever it was landed back safe.
