I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Why call it a warthog? I mean, it doesn't really look like a pig. It looks more like a big cat.

Its 30 mm rotary cannon is larger than the classic VW Beetle.

Prepare to be amazed.

Because it's tough and stubborn - it'll take enemy fire and keep on flying / fighting.

On topic; it's a good plane, but the only reason people like it is for the GAU-8 Avenger; otherwise it's just a slow, non-agile flying metal bucket.

Fun fact; if the A-10 had enough ammo and flew and fired its gun, the recoil would eventually stop the aircraft mid-air.

I love the A-10. What a great machine.

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

It's not ugly, it's plus size, curvy, like Marilyn Monroe of attack/fighter craft.

Dat GAU Avenger.

In my opinion the Supermarine Spitfire looks better.

But i will say the A-10 excels at its ground attack role.

It's built like a tank too.

Absolutely resilient against enemy fire.

I play the simulator for it quite a bit. It is one of my favorite aircraft of all time. She is beautiful.

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

I saw one at Nellis this last April and took tons of pictures up close and personal. Awesome jet. So badass.

I love how its an old attack plane that was going to be phased out..... but eventually the military higher-ups realised that having a really tough slow plane was a good idea. I'm sure I read that they wanted F-16s to take over from A-10s but they were just too fast to allow pilots to react to what was going on below on the ground.

Also they can fly with half a wing missing, an engine missing, half the tail surfaces missing, both main and secondary hydraulic systems nonoperational.

Want Tough?

Here is tough


Damned thing got hit by AAA over Baghdad, lost part of it's horizontal Stabilizer, as well as it's right engine and had some damage to the right rudder. Flew home without giving much of a -blam!-.


I love the A-10. Some times I boot up ArmA II, throw up a few columns of tanks, throw on Kick Start my Heart and proceed to kick ass.

The A-10 was designed to destroy Russian tanks in the Fulda gap in Germany and Europe. Also the F-16 can't really fit its role.

With F-35s.

Which may constitute a substantial loss of firepower as the F-35's max load is less than that of an A-10.
