the A-10 is a sweetie....

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.

The grand tradition of the Corsair has advanced into the 21 st century.

Pappy Boyington would be proud to know where he helped lead our country!

To a bunch of Marines needing air cover, the A-10 would be a pretty sight.
