OH58A Kiowa
==========
Note - Somewhat difficult to tie up. All are marked 0-xxxxx on the engine cowling, with the full serial written in small font on the starboard fuselage just behind the cockpit. Only the last 5 digits tie up ... I had to search for the first 2 digits. Below I've provided what's marked on the aircraft, the actual serial, and the c/n in brackets. This was all researched from Joe Baugher's website.

"21292" - being rebuilt inside hangar. Cannot find any ref. to this one.
"80J" - on flatbed truck, being prepared for delivery to Ft. Rucker. This one had flight-training (day-glo orange) markings.

TUS 17 NOV 2001

Notes:
* Davis Monthan has shifted operations over to TUS, while the single runway
at DMA is undergoing repaving. Many A-10s are based on the western ramp,
and can be seen from the parking lot near the tower. The land-side area
where the A-10s are parked is off-limits, closed off by concrete barricades.
No C-130s were seen.

* The resident SE210 Caravelle, N777VV, has been moved temporarily to the
main cargo ramp ... allowing for a decent photograph in the afternoon.
