The green front landing gear door on 709 is a replacement due to a landing gear malfunction in Kandahar AF
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Dan.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, at least A-10Cs 80-0246 (still without new unit markings and fin flashes) and 81-0948 (with yellow fin flashes) also returned from this combat deployment with green-painted nose landing gear doors. Also due to landing gear malfunctions?
