Few pay much attention, but the A-10 is named after the P-47.

Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II

The Jug and The Warthog.

I did not know that, but it explains why the warthog is my favorite “modern” warplane. It really harkens back to the P47 for me. I did not know it was intentional.

I used to have a warthog flight simulator. It was a lot of fun.
