Flying Tiger Wing A-10 Hawgs COOL Nose Art and Mission Markings

Since aircraft were employed in combat, aircrews and maintainers have adorned their planes with artwork and mission markings. This first Hawg released 45 SDBs on targets. One A-10 expended 4200 rounds if each 30mm silhouette depicts 100 each. Several aircradft appear to have what looks like cruise missiles in the missin markings. Can anyone famiiar with this deployment tell me what the "cruise missile" silhouettes represent in the comments? The last Hawg is my hero with two ship silhouettes, announcing to everyone it engaged and sank two boats. Why is it we retiring these aircraft again? They still have missions to perform with no replacement on the horizon. #aviation #avgeek #military #airforce #army #navy #usmc #pilot #pilotlife #flight #flying #fly #aircraft #airplane #plane #jet #airport #photo #photography #video #videoviral #viralvideos #lessonsfromthecockpit #podcast #show
