I believe pics exist of this aircraft, taken soon after return to Kuwait. The aft section was, for all intents and purposes, shredded.

This pilot did a great job, and these jets are certainly built to take alot of abuse.

I always wonder why the USAF is so eager to get rid of them.

I had a friend who was working for one of the lead contractors on the A10.

He basically said the AF hated it because it was so ugly and was sub-sonic. Not the right image--even though the damn thing gets the close support mission done better than anything else in the arsenal.
