A-10 Blacksnake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As a military history buff and a former Zoomie, I have a great love for the shark teeth motif commonly found on the A-10 Thunderbolt II. I have found a new favorite though. The above pictured “Blacksnake” theme put on this Warthog is, as the article says, “BRRRT-iful.” The Air National Guard unit this particular bird flies with is from Fort Wayne, Indiana. The unit lays claim to the legacy of Revolutionary War hero Major General Anthony “Mad Anthony” Wayne, the namesake of the fort and eventual city of Fort Wayne. Wayne’s tactics of waiting for the perfect moment to strike reminded his soldiers of the Black Snake, which became another of his nicknames.<\/p>\n

A close second for awesome paint jobs on the A-10 is the D-Day-style invasion stripes. Here’s a pic of a Thunderbolt II with a P-47 Thunderbolt, body wearing the invasion livery. I guess one good thing about being the ugly duckling of the Air Force is nobody cares much about how you paint them.<\/p>\n
