Yeah the enemy can’t see which side is up. They should paint one on the other end so they can’t see which way it’s going either!
It’s an old Warthog running joke to talk about how slow it is. The pilots who fly them know them all and can tell them the best.
Two jokes that I’ve heard about A-10s:
The A-10’s airspeed indicator is a pocket calendar.
The A-10 takes birdstrikes from the rear.
Of course, that is from F-16 guys whose brethren got their planes chewed to hell trying to fly the A-10’s mission. A few years back, some genius at the Pentagon decided that they could put 30mm gun pods on the F-16 and go hit tanks. It didn’t work worth a crap, the F-16 could not take the hits from ground fire and be survivable.
