Well the Air Force might be retarded and planning on retiring the old girl, but it looks like at least one of them will get to live on flying through some of the most insane weather on the planet to gather meteorological data. I hope the project works out alright. If it does, hopefully the Air Force will consider selling more retired A-10s to universities and weather services.
People often underestimate just how important weather forecasts are. Weather monitoring institutions have been overdue for a tough airframe like the A-10's for a while now. Up until now most have just been using prop planes.

I don't care. Look at me, I'm the 4chan now. Kill yourself, weeb.

>>33402710
I don't even like the A-10 all that much, you're just a fucking disgusting weeb faggot. I mean it, please kill yourself. The world is too overcrowded already and the West doesn't need anymore of you faggot NEETs. Don't use a gun because I don't want it to contribute to inflated "gun death" statistics. Just find something really high and jump off of it, preferably into a volcano.
>>33402720
nah
>>33402742
You realize you're a grown man who still watches cartoons? And probably jerks off to them too, right? Don't you feel even the slightest bit of shame? You're a fucking disgrace. I bet your father wishes you died young so he didn't have to see the pathetic """man""" you grew up to be.

Stop dodging the fact your dad violated your dog/mother and your the by product of the dodgy scooby snack.

You're posting on an anime imageboard and autistically kvetching about people who watch anime because you want to defend the honor of an old airplane. Assess yourself.
>shoot into tornado
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT
>Tornado now has brrrrrrt food and is wreaking havoc on Moore Oklahoma for a 3rd time.
>>33403013
Oklahoma deserves absolutely everything it gets.
It's literally the shittiest state in the union.
Literally covered in and smells of cowshit.

You guys should sell it to those people who want to become Disabled.

The fate of this plane since the drawing board is absolutely crazy, it deserves an epic movie.

I liked the idea of using A-10s as fire tankers - though I kinda think the A-7 would be a lot better suited for the job.

special rounds needed to seed storm systems with mini data collectors, and give it a reason to brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt.
>>33403992
Fuck man why aren't people funding this. I'd pay anything to see BRRRRTTT used to destroy wildfires and tornadoes. And also Soviet tanks for that matter.
>>33402517
Be happy that they get to live the rest of their lives out in retirment: the poor F-14 wasn't nearly as lucky.
>>33402517
A GAU-8 loaded with dry ice rounds could be very effective at cloud seeding.
>>33405476
The ice would just sublimate before it even left the barrel, retard.
>>33405513
Put the barrel assembly in a big liquid nitrogen jacket dummy.
>>33405529
No dumbass I mean the combustion gases would do it. You really are dense, aren't you?
>>33405581
Nah, the end of the dry ice bullet would ablate off, keeping the rest safely frozen.
I went and saw this A10 last spring, since I live near where it's being fixed up(Guthrie airport).
The head mechanic is a super nice guy and let me climb all over the plane. He really loves the plane, as well as showing it off.
He said they plan on painting it white and told me to come back after it's painted.
>>33405768
>White A-10
You best take pictures
>>33405768
Do you know if they have a pilot picked out yet? I'm curious as to whether they hired a former A-10 pilot or not.
