The Idaho National Guard’s heritage A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthog, painted to resemble the World War II P-47 Thunderbolt, sat on the Gowen Field flight line for a day with the Idaho Military History Museum's World War II 1941 restored Willys Jeep on Oct. 6, 2021. The Jeep became one of the museum’s newest exhibits this year. Rob Lytle, a retired brigadier general, spent several months restoring the Jeep to get it operational again. Between 1941 and 1945, approximately 650,000 Jeeps were produced by the American Bantam Car Company, the Ford Motor Company and Willys Overland-Motors. This Jeep was painted to represent Idaho's 183rd Field Artillery Battalion (155mm Howitzer-Tractor Drawn) and is similar to those the battalion operated in the European theater of operations between June 1944 and May 1945. Earlier this year, the Idaho National Guard honored its heritage by unveiling the vintage-looking A-10 Thunderbolt II to pay tribute to the 405th Fighter Squadron’s P-47 Thunderbolts that provided aerial support during World War II. The wartime 405th Fighter Squadron returned to the United States in October of 1945 and was inactivated. It was reactivated and designated as the 190th Fighter Squadron, allotted to the Idaho Air National Guard, in 1946. The A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthogs came to Idaho in 1996.

This was taken at Maryland Airport near Indian Head circa 1983. Not sure of the circumstances as I was just there to drop off and pick up ejection seat motors from the local inspection and repair facility. I think that I was flying N6688 that day. It was ex-Navy. The data plate on 6688 listed it as SNB-5P, the Airworthiness Certificate said TC-45J and the button in the middle of the control wheel said Beech 18.
