Love the A-10.

I'll never forget the first time I saw one. Was working on my lake place in Vernon Parish (home of Ft Polk) when I heard this strange sound approaching. Two of those things came over at about 100 ft alt. Had never seen anything like that at all - thought they were ugly. Have heard them fire their gatling gun a few times when I was out closer to the firing range - awesome sound.

I came to love the way they look after I found out how bad-arse they were. I cannot believe the DOD is considering eliminating them.

The engineers at my company have done a complete overhaul of the avionics in the A-10. The funding is always rumored to end, but the gov't keeps funding the project.
