The Boys From Syracuse

Description

A-10A-FA, 78-0685 assigned to the 138th TFS,174th TFW, New York ANG based at Syracuse MAP.

Noteworthy is the gun gas deflector mounted on the gun muzzle. From what I remember, this caused a vibration issue that was worse than the engine gun gas injestion issue that the acft has had from day-1. So the deflectors came off after a short time in service.

This was about the most boring markings the A-10 ever carried! Shot at Luke AFB in September 1985.
