I'm so glad the Wathog wasn't hit disastrously by a SAM on TV, those were flares to steer a heatseeking missle away, he prbably pumped foil chaff as well, I have lots and lots of militatary models, the A-10 is one of them. Plus I have 2 M1 Abrams, T-72 and a bunch of others. The pilot of the A-19 actually sits in a titatium "bathtub" that can stop 25mm shells, they are one tough ugly bird, a deadly bird fer shure.
