In Tom Clancy's novel Red Storm rising he depicts a group of Warthogs flying in at wave top underneath radar towards Russions destroyers and aircraft carriers in a mock exercise.
The A 10's armament was capable of easily penetrating a warships armor...and sinking battleships &carriers
He actually had to testify before congress after writing his book in order to Explain how he came up with this battle plan&scenario.

Apparently this was part of an actual warplan against the soviets fleet.
Fascinating stuff...

And the story behind the Hunt for Red October and how the movie was made to let the Russians know that they had already lost...

An insurance salesman my ass! :eek:

Sucks that they will be done pulling the A-10 by 2029, I had a retired Air Force E-9 Chief Master Sgt. as a partner back in 2004 and he used to tell me stories about declassified missions and about the A-10 and the amazing accuracy and damage they do. He said the men engaged in country used to calm down when in the shit and they heard the A-10s were in the area ready to help or should I say destroy...

I was on the Constellation (CV-64) carrier on a tiger cruise with my enlisted Navy son. We had 2 days of flights ops with the A-10's. This is something I will never forget. They are awesome aircraft.
