From Older Offspring after a discussion of coffee:
"If it doesn't come from the Kaffa province of Ethiopia, it's just hot roasted-bean juice."
More on the Black & Gray A-10.

Only watch Mark Felton for entertainment purposes, not historical truth...Originally Posted by Andy in NH
I saw Rudel once here in Asunción, back in the late `70s... buying stuff in the pharmacy like any normal citizen.
He was a good friend of the scumbag dictator Alfredo Stroessner, who was also a very good friend of the USA like all south american dictators.
Funny in the same era or earlier this area of south america (Chile, Argentina, south of Brazil and Paraguay) was full of european jewish refugees and nazis alike.

Tail number 80244. That's a 1978 manufacture date, and it's still kickin ass!!
True but even a stopped clock is right twice a day and in this case, it's well documented elsewhere that Rudel was consulted during the conceptual stages of what eventually became the A-10.Only watch Mark Felton for entertainment purposes, not historical truth...
Why black besides that obvious aesthetic reasons? Wouldn't you want to paint it grey or bluish to blend into the sky? Or does it not really matter.
It's a Commemorative paint job: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zon...k-a-10-warthog
An A-10C Warthog ground-attack aircraft has emerged in a striking black and dark gray paint job. The scheme on the jet, assigned to the Indiana Air National Guard’s 122nd Fighter Wing, was created to help mark the 100th anniversary of Indiana National Guard aviation operations.
The jet, serial number 80-0244, also retains the distinctive snakehead nose art found on all A-10Cs that belong to the 122nd Fighter Wing, which is nicknamed the Blacksnakes. The complete scheme also has a number of other symbolic touches.
