A-10A 77-0205 from the 706thTFS at New Orleans shot in 1994 at the Eglin armament museum. “Chopper Popper” is famous for shooting down an Iraqi BO-105 with its 30mm cannon during Desert Storm, flown by Capt Bob Swain.
A little faded but still in its original paint, it was moved to the AF Academy in Colorado and is on a pole with new paint but thankfully these original markings have been faithfully recreated.
