Former 23rd Tactical Air Support Squadron OA-10 Forward Air Control Warthog in its genuine Desert Storm markings. Tail code NF stands for 'Nail FAC' with callsign Nail originating from the Vietnam war. A toned-down squadron badge is above the wing root and the nose art says The Unknown Bomber and Desert Storm '91. It figures a sort of dachshund with antlers, about to shoot a bomb from a rubber catapult between its tail and antlers. Back in the US this A-10 later flew with another Davis Monthan squadron, the 354th FS. This photo is copyright © Erik Sleutelberg, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
