I've searched our forums unsuccessfully to see if it's already been posted; so my apologies if this is a repost.

This T-62 Coloring Book was meant as a humorous training tool for American A-10 Warthog pilots during the Cold War. The retired pilot who first posted this on a flight sim forum more than ten years ago said he'd been given it when he was flying A-10s in 1977.  From it's rough appearance it looks like it was put together by a training officer at the squadron level and is not official USAF training material. I think it's relevant to our forum here as an insight into how a potential real life opponent viewed the T-62. Thank you to Andy Bush for first posting this on the internet back in 99.

It's only ten pages, but in the interests of not clogging up wargaming.net's bandwidth I'll post one page here, and here's a link to the rest on my PHOTOBUCKET account.
