I don't think it is a joke though. It was also on the airforces website.

You mean to say that the serial you reported here was on the air forces website? If so, a link would be useful. Otherwise it could just be a mistake by one of the sources.

Sorry, no the serial was not on af.mil
Probably a mistake by a source indeed. If so, it will soon become known.

The c/n of the 81-0962 is A10-0657. Does this picture mean anything?

Watch '4-0657'. I mean, has it anything to do with the c/n

I'm trying to get my photoproof on this forum but there seems something wrong with "photobucket".
I'll keep on trying!

Just after posting Stefan's photo proof on my blog (with his kind permission), an anonymous source told me: ...it was 81-963 (That means A-10C 81-0963). I'm still trying to get in contact with this source for at least some ID verifications, without disclosing this source. May be this source is related to USAF...
