I love the A-10.  It's a good kind of ugly and it's f***ing indestructible. I used to have a boxed set of Wings VHS tapes that I got from my uncle and one was on the A-10.  Some of the stories from the pilots and the abuse that thing would take were awesome.  One talked about coming back missing three feet of wing and he only noticed a slight pull to the left.  Don't get me started on the cannon.

that thing can glide missing like 1/2 of a one wing and 3/4 of the other or something rediculous. the big wingspan helps it do slow manuvers to give it more time to destroy one target. when i was stationed at seymour johnson they would come down from pope a lot, sometimes you could see them practice there signature attack maneuver. they'd climb vertically into a stall, flip over backwards and dive with the speed brake on almost perfectly vertically. they do this because tanks cant shoot vertically so they can attack from a safe position. now pope is being closed or thats the last thing i heard.

It can FLY with one engine, half a wing, and a few bits of the fuselage gone. Don't forget the titanium 'bathtub'. The only aircraft ever to be designed around a gun!

I don't think they're ugly at all, I think they look bad ass! Especially when they paint them with the sharkteeth.

P.S. Any Spitfires at the show?  :icon_thumright:
