A-10 gets new life as storm chaser

A retired A-10 is getting a new lease of life as a storm chaser. Funded by the National Science Foundation, Zivko Aeronautics will modify the jet at Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport.



Sensors will go on the wings to measure wind speed, pressure and movement of a storm.

Instead of dropping bombs, the warbird will now release miniature sensors above a storm.
