I was working on A-10s at Davis Monthan at the time and we were told that the two-seat A/W/N version was going to be the A-10B. Now I understand that this wasn't official, but it was how we were referring to it. A training version would have been a TA-10x if it was using the official Air Force nomenclature of the time. If it was just a standard two seat A-10 for training it would have been a TA-10A, and if it had all the systems of the A-10B, it would have been a TA-10B. When the warthog began to do target spotting duties and was equipped with additional communication equipment it was referred to as the OA-10A. The Air Force was very anal about applying the proper type designation to an aircraft to match it's intended mission.
