From thedrive.com website on the Black Snake A10.
An A10C Warthog groundattack 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 800244, also retains the distinctive snakehead nose art found on all A10Cs that belong to the 122nd Fighter Wing, which is nicknamed the Blacksnakes. The complete scheme also has a number of other symbolic touches.
This scheme is very different from other commemorative paint jobs that have been applied to A10s in the past, most of which are at least based on historical camouflage schemes. For instance, earlier this year, the U.S. Air Force's Warthog Demonstration Team received a jet sporting a version of the iconic Southeast Asia camouflage pattern that is most closely associated with the service's operations during the Vietnam War.
The Indiana Air National Guard traces its history back to the establishment of the 137th Observation Squadron in 1921, which was equipped at the time with Curtiss JN4 Jenny biplanes. The 122nd Fighter Wing specifically traces its roots back to the U.S. Army Air Force's 358th Fighter Group, which stood up in January 1943. That unit trained on P40 Warhawk piston fighters before moving to England to join the Allied air war in Europe during World War II, where it was equipped with P47D Thunderbolts.
After World War II, various predecessor units to the current 122nd Fighter Wing operated a succession of piston and then jetengined fighter aircraft, including the F51D Mustang, F84F Thunderstreak, F4C and F4E Phantom IIs, and F16C Vipers. In 2009, the Wing transitioned to an A10C unit.
