I enjoyed this interview at Oshkosh with an A-10 driver.

I have a number of military jets in my FS2004 and CFS2 collection...and the jet that I take to the sky the most in, in both sims, is the Alpha Sim A-10. Love the Thunderbolt II. Pure and simple. It's a plane that has all the romance of fat man in a BBQ sauce stained t-shirt, the elegance of a one-toothed beauty queen....but there is something about the 'hog that just appeals to me. Maybe it's that huge 30 mil canon spitting out huge chunks of tank killing depleted uranium, maybe it's the fact that the plane can take a heap of abuse and still come home, maybe it's the fact that the plane is best down low..close to the ground were you can see the whites of the eyes of the targets you kill. Whatever it is about the A-10 that I find so endearing, I am glad that it will continue to be around for another couple decades.
