I attended at least three summer camps at Fort Stewart in Savanna
Georgia as a Cobra Pilot for the Tennessee Army National Guard. During
all three we performed joint air attack missions with an A-10 unit and
they always had at least two two seat aircraft. The last two years we
traded rides with them and several of our pilots got some A-10 time. I
know I've got pictures somewhere, but it will take forever to remember
where I hid them. If I remember correctly there were approximately 30
two seaters produced.
