They pack a tremendous punch but also have a glass jaw.

This one from Hurlburt was flying around my house.

I think the guys on the ground aren't the only guys worrying. In some situations the gunship has a tremendous advantage. When there are a lot of pickup trucks with mounted AA guns on them, being in a low flying, relatively slow airplane within range of the AA guns would also be an adrenaline raising experience.

Everybody in that plane knows what could happen if they get hit with a couple of 20mm or 30mm HE rounds.

Appears to be landing judging by the flaps.
