dude a10s are slow

6/14/2008 2:45:11 PM

that's the point

they're better for scouting missions, finding things on the ground, and air - ground support

they're also tough as nails and can carry a shit ton of ordnance. they're also very quiet (for a jet)--they use the same engines as the Navy's S-3 Viking (the "Hoover", because it sounds like a vacuum cleaner). don't know for sure, but they prob have lots of loiter time, too (very fuel efficient engines, and probably carries a lot of fuel).

from what i understand, they almost always fly with an IR Maverick--not to shoot, but to use as a poor man's FLIR (i.e., the Air Force has a love-hate relationship with the Warthog, and many have wanted to get rid of it since damn near its inception, so they couldn't get funding for a real FLIR).

helluva CAS platform. i think there have been a number of friendly fire accidents with them, though (people joke about it being the #1 killer of Marines).

i also never realize how big they are until i saw them up close in a hanger one day

6/14/2008 3:03:45 PM

yep, they're pretty damned big

designed to be able to still be able to fly with busted wings, engines
interchangeable parts, etc..
