What are you talking about, it's sexy AF. Military aircraft

Just love that plane.

 

[monkeyswrench]

The A-10 is sexy...just not everyone sees it. Like a girl in the mosh pit, sweaty, maybe a chipped tooth...great body...the type that you think, "sure, she may kill me, but what the hell!"

I have a real affinity for that aircraft. I hope I never find myself on the fighting side of that.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

No filler, all thriller. Like one of those UFC chicks.

 

[fat rat]

Bad ass aircraft, turned a wrench on a few of them.

My favorite

My 2nd all time favorite jet behind the F14. Shawn Ryan just did a podcast with a hog pilot and they’re total bad asses.

Sexy like a long nose Pete!

Add the gatlin gun to the Pete and you're ready for those unexpected lane changers

The Warthog can maintain flight with 1/2 the tail missing and or a wing severely damaged or missing. Also the only "Fighter" aircraft in play currently using High Bypass engines (more efficient) so it can haul more, um....cargo with weight available range.

Or its a shinny chick with big tits.

All same.

Hell yeah! Them gawd daymn Californian truck drivers for Kamala!

They fly low over LOTO all the time, always in pairs. I was told they are doing practice runs attacking the dam and other targets.

The HOG is/was so far ahead of its time. Unbelievable capabilities and love hearing that sound. If you’re on the wrong end of the sound it it’s already to late to hear it, you’re done.

I have a friend that had a few tours in Iraq. He said that "hodji" knew the sound of those turbines, and feared them more than anything. When I asked why, he said "because that plane could cruise low, slow and look them in the eyes"

 

[monkeyswrench]

Inner workings of the early guns. This was at the Pima Air Museum. Some weird stuff going on!

 

[Mini Kat]

My guns have an airplane

and to think some parts of the government want to get rid of them. If they do does that mean they will sell them off.

Heard the "replacement" for that role is the cropduster. More than ugly, but belt feds in the wings, like a WWII fighter. Same concept, slow moving ground support, but more agile and guns with less maintenance.

My son was on a carrier while in the Navy. I was fortunate to spend 10 days with him on their "Tiger Cruise" from Hawaii to San Diego. We were arguing one day about the A-10 Warthog, the F-14 and the FA-18B, and the superiority of each jet. My choice was the A-10 Warthog as the ultimate fighting machine, but, he said the F-14 was the best aircraft of all times. Wen I asked why, he said the F-14 intake was THE place to have sex with other enlisted gals, and would always be his favorite.

Damn kids!

Can't argue with that sounds like the best fighter plane to me

They have one sitting at Pima in Tucson, as well as some other bad ass planes

 

[Sleek-Jet]

A bad ass piece of flying gun platform for sure. Supposed to be out of the inventory in a couple of years. I read the other day the squadron at Davis Monthan has been deactivated and there are only a few other bases left that still have the airplane actively flying. The war in Ukraine has shown that close air support with a manned aircraft isn't really feasible in a modern conventional war. Heck, all these were really designed to do was slow down the Russians tank battalions as they poured through the Fulda Gap and allow time for NATO time to drop a couple tactical nukes.

My shop at Barber's Point Air Station was right next to the NAS runway. A-10 Bastards always hit the after burners right next to the shop, shook the hell out of our metal building.

Never bothered me, after the first couple of times. I love the sound of freedom.

I didn't think the A-10 turbofan engines had an afterburner. Could be wrong though.
