The 'highway of death'
When I first moved to Syracuse in 1987, the NY Air Nat Guard there flew A10's, you'd see them flying around a lot. Known as "The Boys From Syracuse". They had a firing range upstate, but I never got to see anything. After a few years they switched to F16's. I "heard" those F16's had gun pods with the GAU-8 gun in them, but I never saw any proof or heard it again.

GAU 13 pod you meant. It's a smaller 4 barrel version of the same 30mm. GAU13/GPU5/A was meant to be belly carried by F16, but due to its excessive vibration and faster moving F16, it was impossible to have a good accuracy. A-10 is still the only true flying gun.

Does that bring back memories. After they pushed everything to the side there were the marks in the road from the A-10's. There would be holes then a gap then holes then a gap........The 'highway of death'
