USAF Thunderbirds A-10 "Thunderbrrrt"

Speaking of gun swap, I remember when they tried to throw the Avenger in a pod and glue it to an F-16 and it damn near shook apart. lol

I saw a whif the other day on social media (I might have it in my queu for posting in the thread here for it, in fact) that was a blohm and voss contraption with the cockpit and nose out on the wing.

Hmmm, complete A-10 forward fuselage (from the back of the ammo drum forwards) attached to the rest of an F-15...

Or, for a naval variant - complete A-10 forward fuselage (from the back of the ammo drum forwards) attached to the rest of an F-14D ...

Given it was B&V it may well have been a project rather than a Wif

I kinda doubt it  :

That looks like an A-10 on the starboard side and a CF-100 on the port. 

With A-10 wings.

As it appears the gun is still under the pilot, firing would cause a distinct turn to the right.
Which means it needs a second gun on the other side.

And that's a problem  because..................?

Wing walkers and deployable (and retractable) drag chutes for correction. BAM!   Who needs the Flying Circus when we have the flying carnival? 

[NARSES2]

That's fascinating and certainly something you wouldn't be surprised to find in B&V's catalogue 

I'll be absolutely "b'd" if I can quite work out where the aircraft's central datum line runs though ?

I made a plan to do very similar to that long ago only using F/A-18 instead, probably never get around to it though...
