I never realized an A-1 could fold its wings fully loaded with ordinance. Undeniable proof with your photo. Nice work.
Same for me. I think the ordinance might have been loaded after the wings were folded, just for the show.

Engine specs are listed below the article. Looks like they build 15 of these a year, with the Air force contracts for 120 at the moment

Production ended in 2015 (after having begun in the early '90s). The USAF has 125 and several foreign air forces fly a few more. The engine is the Pratt & Whitney turbofan that also powers Boeing's 757 airliners.

This was the 9th annual show held in Gig Harbor, WA. It was the first time I made it to the show and had a great time. They had a bunch of Classic Cars as well as Aircraft on display and some of the aircraft put on a pretty good show.
Here are a few of the wings selections.

Our Cobras in the 1st Air Cav we’re identical to this one in color schemes. Great photos.
