A10 Warthog Racer

Re: A10 Warthog Racer

Then what's the deal with the starfighters? How did they their F-104's?

The original two they had were Canadian built birds that came out of Norway. When they got the government contracts, they were able to get four more from the Italian Air Force.

This thread reminds me of the Sukhoi SU-27's that were for sale awhile back. What a ride that would be!! Here's video of the first flight of N131SU. I think this was the first one of the two to fly.

It looks like the registration is out of date now though.

I would like to know what actually happened with that whole deal. I have heard some wild stories but have no way of know what the truth really is. No matter what happened, it's safe to assume they are not, and will not be, in civilian hands any longer.

Why not modify a barn door for racing? It would be more aerodynamically clean, lighter, and faster than a Hog.

The A-10 would be better suited for the Red Bull pylons
