Biography
Based on A-10A, YA-10B was designated as the maritime strike, two-seater version of A-10A. So as to improve the A-10A, Fairchild proposed a prototype of two-seat Night/Adverse Weather (N/AW) version, including the modification of its night-vision avionics with mounted infrared/radar sensor pods, LN-39 inertial navigation system and AN/APN-194 radar. Maiden flight, aircraft serial 73-1664 (cn A10-0001), was made from Edwards AFB, Muroc, California, USA on May 4, 1979. However, due to the lack of fund, the project was dropped.
