A-10 Warthogs Are About To Operate From A U.S. Highway For The First Time
Citat:For the first time in recent history, the U.S. Air Force is going to take its aircraft out onto highways in the United States for an exercise. Four A-10C Warthog attack aircraft and a pair of C-146A Wolfhound special operations transports are due to take part in the road-landing drill, which is a part of the wider Exercise Northern Strike. As well as being a unique event in the United States, the upcoming highway deployment reflects the ever-increasing importance of dispersed operations for the U.S. military, including as part of the Air Force’s Agile Combat Employment (ACE) initiative.

The highway exercise will take place on August 5 and is being run by the Michigan Air National Guard. With the help of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). A stretch of the Michigan State Highway M-32 near Alpena will be closed off for five hours, as the A-10s and C-146s touch down there.

Citat:A-10 damaged by misfired cannon is back flying again after 3 years
A-10C, #80-0264, is back flying again after spending three years at Hill Air Force Base for restoration by the 309th Aircraft Maintenance Group.
The attack jet had to make a belly landing after a misfire in the aircraft’s 30 mm cannon caused the canopy and several panels to blow off. The incident also caused the landing gear to malfunction.Experts from the 571st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron had to make parts themselves in order to rebuild the front of the aircraft.
“A lot of the parts are unavailable so we have to run them through our local manufacturing process and make them ourselves,” said Scott Oster 571st AMXS lead A-10 planner. “With any of the other weapons systems, if they have a bad part, they order it through supply and replace it. On the A-10’s, we’re kind of in a different world.”

This rocket sled came from Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico and was used to test ejection seat systems for the two-seat YA-10B. This was a proposed night/adverse weather variant, which never went in to production.
