I believe Trump has some good military folks around him...
The A10 was known to be a very tough aircraft. A relative who worked in aerospace told me that an A10 returned from a mission with one engine blown off. The pilot kind of sits in an IRON TUB to protect, according to the same source. By comparison, helicopters are much more fragile -- but they try to make helicopters survivable...

Pilot sits in a titanium tub. The A-10 was designed to bring back the pilot no matter what!
