I've seen a reference to an A-10, but the reporter may not have known what he was talking about.

I'd be real surprised if they weren't using the warthog. Best CAS plane around.

1 - ON TV - I saw a picture of seveeral of our GI's in Iraq holding a small plane, it was only about 18" wing span, and the TV just passed over it, uncommented, as they reviewed a series of pictures of the war.

What are the MC and ECs used for?
I'm guessing the EC is for electronic warfare.
