Now THAT’s what I’m talking about. Time to start destroying substantial numbers of actual ISIS fighters and their war equipment. Several AC-130 “Spooky” gunships could come in handy also.

“Pentagon to deploy 12 A-10s to Middle East”.......

I love the A-10’s although they are a bit “slow” compared to more modern day aircraft. None-the-less, they are sure as hell one mean fighting machine.

Living near an airbase where a variety of military aircraft practice bombing and blowing things up, I have watched the A-10’s do their thing and believe me, you would not want to be on the end of those fire breathing dragons when they come after you. Flying low and slow, the leave one pile of devastation when they leave.
