They were all single-seat aircraft; the only two-seater ever built was the YA-10B, converted from the first pre-production YA-10A, 73-1664.
In order to improve the A-10A, Fairchild Republic proposed a prototype of a two-seat Night/Adverse Weather version and the proposal was approved by the Air Force. 73-1664 was returned to the old Republic plant at Farmingdale, Long Island, New York, USA, and modified to include a second seat and night-vision avionics.
First flight was made from Edwards AFB, Muroc, California, USA on May 4, 1979, but funding for the A-10B was not provided by the Congress and after modifying this one aircraft, the project (also known as N/AW A-10) was dropped. The YA-10B is on display at the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) Museum at Edwards AFB. View also photo 2801."
This aircraft NEVER left the Edwards AFB area of operations but somehow VL claims he flew it and others multiple times out of Patrick AFB in Florida as a civilian college student. Looking forward to more BS, maybe he/she/it will enlighten us about being an astronut on the ISS or being on the last Space Shuttle mission...
Otis, some people think VL suffers from mental illness. I think he actually enjoys it.
Liars lie. No way around that. When lies become the "truth" it's time to consult a mental health professional or three. When the liar lies in public and insists that it's the truth then it's time to call BS and put that person on "ignore but monitor for public safety reasons." Worst of all, VL likely enjoys the extra attention, no matter if it's good or bad press. I say no more acknowledging VL PERIOD!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I can't stop trolls from posting but I can stop myself from replying and feeding them. I can only control my own actions (and some days even that is questionable), what I can do is encourage others to consider the same course of action. DON'T FEED THE TROLLS!!!

Ha ha ha good luck on your Big Dougy Boycott Otis...Wha are people gonna read and respond to, youre sh**? And I don't care what you found on the internet, the air craft was at Patrick in the early 80's..It was a secret A-10 base- Can you find any evidence that any A-10 was based there ever? Probably not, but there was dozens of them there for at least a year that I know of...And all my buddies took a ride in it as well, l like 12 guys in our class there.. And I was at numerious Keg parties there as well...Right next to a tarmac full of planes that had four guards on each one..Armed uniformed guys standing at the front, back, on on each wing, all night...F-18's and F-16's if I remember correctly...We were in a cold war at the time- Getting drunk in a highly secured area, right next to the best aircraft in the world- Great parties..The kegs were in metal garbage cans and Air Force guys cooked the burgers and dogs for us future possible recruits. Probably don't believe that either do you?
