A question for any Warthog jocks (or fans) out the

Why is the front of the right gear fairing on all A-10s painted gloss
black? Is is a radome of some sort? If so, what for?

Unless, of course, you would have to kill me if you told me, etc...

Just curious,

I posted your question onto the Warthog territory forum. It is the ILS
antenna. The Mike Badrocke cutaway drawings still have the ILS in the nose
(an early manufacturer concept), but this was moved to the starboard gear
fairing due to Avenger vibration. Info straight from the guys who fly and
fix 'em.
