Nice! One of my favorite warplanes. So ugly you just have to love it!

Photo of A-10 Warthog = Five Stars! Nice!

I agree Robin...

Just watch out for that cannon!!

I love this plane and the history surrounding it. I envy those people that were/are able to fly it and to service it.

Very nice

Bad a** beast in a small,intimidating, devastating package. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I think she is a 10.

Challenge anyone to build a better weapon, anyone. The HOG must stay!! Must be a ground check, some fairings seem to be missing.

Imagine a couple of squadrons of these fighting for the Ukraine right now.

I noticed that there is a face on the front of this A-10, that gives it more of "Look of Trouble" for someone.
Great aircraft, and absolutely needed.

If he USAF does not want her, there are plenty of Army "grunts" who would love to take care of her

I live near an air base with a permanent station for the A-10. I love these planes. The cannon and its power is stunning. And it shows the failure of current military leadership. When pitching the F-35-Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), the A-10 was one of the platforms that would be replaced. The JSF was a boondoggle from the beginning and the military leadership should have known it. Just on the A-10 issue, the JSF does NOT have a cannon, it cannot fly as slow, it cannot loiter over a battlefield as long, and cannot carry as much other armament. But DOD leadership stopped demanding tools of excellence and instead looks at every new aircraft as some kind of Christmas tree to hang more and more and more ornaments. End result, jack of all trades and master of none.

Also, despite the claims to replace so many air platforms with a single plane, we ended up paying for the development of 3 different planes as there are major differences between the A, B, and C variants.

Keep the A-10 as it is a master of its task.

Up here, we refer to it as an Eh-10

It took me a minute, but I get it now, Rick. That's pretty funny!
