A-10 Wart Hog

Post by Duke2 »

I was watching the History Channel, and they were doing an Episode on the Wart Hog. Seems before they Started to Build it, the talked with the then Living WWII Stuka Ace. -- The A10 might be a Stuka Design, with Jet Engines. :) It goes Four hundred and some, and has a Stright Wing. Hmmmm. -- :)

I was a bit unclear... I mean I don't give a sh..t what I'm bombing - as long as I fly with my friends.

The A-10 is a great plane. I spent 6 years working on an A-10, 4 as a mechanic and 2 as a crew chief. I did get to watch them on the range once and it was awesome!
