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 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.

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.

Put the barrel assembly in a big liquid nitrogen jacket dummy.

No dumbass I mean the combustion gases would do it. You really are dense, aren't you?

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.
