The “Devil’s Cross” keeps flying and fighting.
I love that aircraft.

The A-10 is the modern day version of whistling death.
Our guys love it. The bad guys are scared of it.
Mission accomplished.

The Warthog has a design and look that just says “death machine” and the airframe itself can easily last another 30 years with updates to the electronic hardware, software, and engines.

Same here - was stationed at Myrtle beach when they moved Warthogs in to replace the “Flying Cinder Block” A-7s.
Fell in love the first airshow as one was going down the runway at what seemed to be a very slow pace, never appeared to be ready to take flight, and the wheels went up leaving it at that height for a 100 yards before the hard turn into a climb that almost scraped the runway with a wing ....seemed impossible even as I watched it.
