Battle damage like that and it still made it home. Impressive.

  1. I will see "speed tape" on my airplane every now and then as a repair of various dings and gouges from careless ground crew. This looks like it needs some type of "speed Saran wrap"...the extra wide roll.

  3. See a A-10 aircraft number and always wonder if I ever worked on it. Assuming it's 5 or 650 ( no 850 ) so after my time. Can't make out ones in background.

  4. AI image, everything about that picture is wrong. Navy cranials on ground crew, no base near any conflict looks like that, trucks are wrong, no emergency vehicles, AGE equipment is hooked up and would not be on a battle damaged arrival, no panels open, no gawkers. Totally BS image

    2. Grommit,
      Nothing says that craft was damaged in the present unpleasantness, I've seen that same head gear on Air Force loaders at Red Flag,and the AGE power unit would definitely be hooked up so the crew chief and avionics crew can run needed checks.
