i have seen a ton of these now, what is the reason, no doubt cool, but i assume this is more than just toying around?

April 30th, 2008 at 6:21 pmThe A-10 is primarily a ground support aircraft, and that is not unusually low for them. And, some of the best hog pilots are female.
April 30th, 2008 at 6:41 pmthe pilot really should comb his hair and straighten his O2 mask up before doing a stunt like that. just looks bad on the other “hot-dogs”. also, flight line should really wash the bird more often, greasy fingerprints around the fuel inlet just looks unprofessional.

As a female who is “hot” for the A-10 … I can see why.
And I’m telling ya … that growl is just so … UMM!
April 30th, 2008 at 8:16 pmThe new A-10c retrofit is a prime example of a fine aircraft revamped and made better at a very low cost. The first time I saw an A-10 was in 1974, they are way old but tough as hell.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:17 pmThe retrofit program as a whole cost 300 million, less than the cost of 1 f-22 raptor.

Phendlin (Death Rattlers) you saw that too?…
April 30th, 2008 at 9:19 pmI heard the senior Marine Aviator asked back in the 70s why the USMC did not buy the A10. He responded along the lines of that plane can survive a lot of damage; and it is going to need to. We are not interested in airplanes that need to take a lot of damage.
It has turned out to be very serviceable in its role.
As an old Skyraider pilot, I appreciate unglamourous workhorse airplanes that just do their job.

My hats off to an old Sandy pilot!
I personally love that old workhorse (I am staring at on on my computer background) and still think it could do one heck of an impressive job over a battlefield today. My Dad was a Marine in Nam and was very fond of the Skyraider and Puff.
For the Warthog, I was at an airshow trying to keep a camera on one doing low level manuevers and had one hell of a time, it made me feel good knowing an enemt AA gunner would have the same trouble.
