U.S. Air Force Using Old A10 Warthog & U2 in Korea
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/04/17 | Mark Smyth

THE A10 WARTHOG AND THE U2 SPYPLANE

I watched the late rebroadcast version of NBC news Monday night with host Lester Holt at an American air base in South Korea.

Oldies are goodies as both the A10 Warthog and the cold war spy U2 plane are both used there and Holt gave us a close report of both.

The warthog is genetically superior.

Lobbyists and throw away culture enthusiasts hate that. Have for a long time. No manufacturers to schmooze and make money from

It is not a good thing to have a Warthog driver PO’d at you.

Funnily enough, I happen to know a Gulf War-era Warthog driver. He’s just about the most laid-back, relaxed person I know. I’d go so far as to say he’s Bob Ross serene, only he does SQL databases instead of oil paintings.

Just...what is Lester Holt doing, hanging around in so kobwith a bunch of Air Force pilots when the most important political story in 50 years is breaking? This will swamp the media. Their cover up will do them under. They’ll individually- the journalists-will wish they’d been on board with it.

Today on the fox 11am show some dem operative was up against Lowry just yelling would not shut up blah blah blah Russia, no wiretalling, nunes is a liar. At least tge Fox News girl said no he’snot

That’s their talking point

Tat and running away to some AFB in South Korea to report on a 40 year old airplane. (I love the A 10).

Oui.

The Warthog's GAU-8 shoots projectiles (some explosive and some uranium-tipped) weighing nearly a pound each at a rate sometimes approaching 4,000 rounds per minute.

Bad guys can't hide from that.

Pinging FR’s very own Hawg driver Hulka. What say you? Are the mighty A-10’s all set to go in North Korea if things heat up?
