The A-10C in these pictures was the first Warthog to ever be digitally recorded in a process conducted June 12th at Eglin AFB in Florida. The tiny white dots on the blue lines are reflectors, that when photographed, will be used by the Virtual Surveillance Target Attack Radar System to create a high-fidelity 3D model of the A-10. Engineers hope to use this computerized diagnostic measurement to better outfit the A-10 for smart weapons. I sure hope someone in the video game industry can get a hold of these 3D models as well.
