Yes. One of the finest ground attack aircraft produced in history. It ranks up there with the P-47, A-1 and Phantom.

This is good news indeed.

You need to add the Henschel 123 to your list of the great ground attack planes. http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/hs123.html

True, and they're all good planes. But the A-10 has two engines, and so should more reasonably be compared with a more direct WWII gunship ancestor.
