I can’t begin to tell you how utterly devastating and pure kick ass this platform is. I’ve called them in from the ground and worked with them in the air on JAAT missions, They are a pure joy to watch and I thank God they’re on our side.

It’s a shame that they’ve been out of production for 20 years or so. They used to build them up in Hagarstown, MD at the Fairchild plant, which closed many years ago. Should have developed a worthy successor by now, but they didn’t.

I listened to a Hog pilot interview. They are my hero's. He said when he touches off the cannon and the cockpit fills with powder smoke he gets an adrenalin rush like you would not believe. Cause he knows he is helping the good guys and killing the bad guys.
