“PA Air National Guard fly A 10s, do you know what they look like?”
Straight wings, two tails, two huge hi-bypass turbo fans, gear that doesn’t fully retract, nice big canopy, BIG gun, lots of hard-points. . .ugly. . .oh. . .wait. . .that wasn’t what you were asking?

We used to have A-10s at the local Nat Guard airfield in Western Mass. I loved watching those planes just kind of float around.
Now we have F15s. Loud and fast.
I miss the hogs.
Ugly? The A-10 is a beautiful beast, 'specially when she burps.
