Fairchild-Republic Thunderbolt 2 —

Cool Shot Bill!

👏🏼

Oh A10! It is stylish!

Such great planes, perfect for the job, regardless of how much the brass wants them replaced.

Beautiful.

First experienced T-bolt2 at Fort Irwin, CA (now NTC) on an Army Reserve exercise in 1980. It was over us and on us before we knew it. Never heard it coming-only heard it going away. As OPFOR, we were dead meat. Very possibly the best-ever ground support aircraft.

When you absolutely, positively, have a job that needs done, this is who you Call!!!

Forget F-18s flying cover in Afghanistan; a couple of Warthogs will do the job!

Arguably, the best tool in the tool box. Big mistake to even think about phasing these out.

Great timing Bill.....

Love the painted on canopy on A-10 No. 1 to confuse enemy gunners.

One of my favorite aircraft. Absolutely built for function. Great shot.

Last of the Stick & rudder planes
