On display at the Cradle of Aviation Museum with every hardpoint loaded. This Thunderbolt II was built in 1977. It served with 354th TFW at Myrtle Beach and then with the 45th TFS "Hoosier Hogs" at Grissom AFB. The A-10A is painted in the markings of Capt. M. Baltzer, awarded a DFC for the Gulf War. A titanium armor "bathtub" lies in front of the aircraft. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
