And, some of the best hog pilots are female. The A-10 is primarily a ground support aircraft, and that is not unusually low for them. And, some of the best hog pilots are female.

The first time I saw an A-10 was in 1974, they are way old but tough as hell. The retrofit program as a whole cost 300 million, less than the cost of 1 f-22 raptor.

He responded along the lines of that plane can survive a lot of damage; and it is going to need to. We are not interested in airplanes that need to take a lot of damage. It has turned out to be very serviceable in its role. As an old Skyraider pilot, I appreciate unglamourous workhorse airplanes that just do their job.

My Dad was a Marine in Nam and was very fond of the Skyraider and Puff. For the Warthog, I was at an airshow trying to keep a camera on one doing low level manuevers and had one hell of a time, it made me feel good knowing an enemt AA gunner would have the same trouble.
