I'm thinking about building a ammo loader that the ground crews used. So with you guys help, I would like to know if anyone out there could help me in finding detailed technical drawings or photos of the,what I believe is called, the ammo loader or vehicle. Its what the ground crews use to load the 30mm belts of ammo into the A-10 warthogs. I know that this is not the correct name for it but it will have to do untill someone can give me the name for it.
Thank you

That would be the ALS. Fligth path has one out in 48th, though it has some accuracy issues and it quite complex to put together. Unless you know an AGE or Hog Weapons troop, you're not going to see much in way of drawings and TO details.

Probably because the AGE shop TOs or Weapons CLs aren’t listed in cyberspace.

ALS - Ammunition Load System .The more recent (SynTech) loader AAL - Automated Ammunition Loader, which is similar to the newer 20mil loader; UALS – Universal Ammunition Loading System.
