Ever seen one up close? It's ugly as sin. I like that in a warplane. :)

That big gun will scare the snot out of you, just sitting on the ground and not even loaded.

I remember the first film, yes film, I saw of the Hog in action. It was a test, shooting up a Israeli Surplus (IOW, they "acquired" it, but sold/gave it to us) Russian built tank. That tank was jumping like it had ants in it's treads. :) That would have been late '70s early '80s.
