My fiancée is a former USAF A10 Avionics tech, on the Pave Penny laser targeting system before the current LANTIRN equipment was standardized. Yes, she has flown in an A10 during a range gun run pass. No it was not a two-place aircraft.

When I showed her this news clip, she cried. Then she started sending it to all of her wartie buddies.
