And the P-51 is faster than the A-10 IIRC ;-)
Will the F16 have the airbrakes deployed ?
And the A-10 doesn’t have a clock in the cockpit like all other aircraft, they have a calendar. . .and the only reason A-10’s are not in the Navy is because the engineers couldn’t figure out how to mount the tail-hook backwards. . .and the A-10 is so slow it takes bird-strikes from the rear.
(I’ve heard them all. . being an ol’A-10 fighter pilot that I am. Sadly, it is the last of the manly jets. . .made for men.)
Helicopters are faster than the A-10.... /s
jk and I love the A-10.
It had to be, different roles. Long distance escort fighter, also suited for ground attack vs. tank & bunker busting ground assault aircraft. Love 'em both; the Good, the Bad*, and the Ugly!
*They both bad, baby!
