The Hog is awesome. Yeah, it catches ground fire, but it can take it. That titanium bathtub the pilot sits in is pretty good. And the gun? No armor in the world can withstand it. Clancy wrote an entertaining account of Hogs scaring the crap out of a Russian ‘can in “The Hunt for Red October”. Fictional, but fun to read.
Honestly? If I could fly one kite, I think this is the one I like
