Saturday night in Fayetteville kicks off the Petrino era in Razorback football. The 188th Fighter Wing (Arkansas Air National Guard) based in Fort Smith, will perform a pre-game fly-over.
The A-10 Thunderbolt is a single-seat attack airplane capable of carrying a wide array of bombs, rockets, missiles and other ordnance. It is most widely known for the thunderous growl of its 30-millimeter “avenger” Gatling cannon, the most powerful cannon ever fitted to an air force attack airplane.
“The flyovers have always been a hit with Razorback fans,” says Matt Shanklin, associate athletic director for marketing.
