A-10 hauling ass WAY down in the weeds

Not to worry though, you'd have been dead before your nervous system had time to register it

That's one way to groundskeep...

I still love them

One of the most fun computer games I ever owned was an A10 simulator. I played that one to death, but the clock speed on the game was tied directly to the clock of the computer, and when the newer PC's came out, the game would no longer run on them. (Just imagine trying to fly with your brain speed cut down to 1/20 of what it is now! I couldn't even take off anymore!)

Nice. Probably my favorite military aircraft, I see them flying over my house sometimes.

The Blackburn Buccaneer, flown by the RAF from the late fifties until 1994, was noted for its ground-hugging capabilities. When it was deployed during the first Gulf War, it was said of it's pilots that when they saw a camel in the desert they had two choices - fly round it or fly under it.

^^Had to look that one up. Cool looking bird.
I like the Warthog because of the concept. The entire plane was designed around the GAU-8 Avenger gatling gun. It's not a plane with a big gun, it's a big gun with a plane attached to it for ease of portability.

some great low-level stuff. The Buc drivers defined what low-level was
