FS2002/FS2004 Fairchild YA-10B Thunderbolt II
Fairchild Co. remodeled the first title machine of pre-mass production type YA-10A, and made Night/Adverse Weather(N/AW) A-10 for trial purposes.
However, it was not possible to produce, and the plan was canceled.
The main remodeling point was an addition of the rear seat and enlargement of the vertical wings.
Moreover, inertia navigation device (LN-39) and electric wave altimeter (AN/APN-194) were installed.
But, strangely, the armor has not been extended to the rear seat.
