The A-10 shouldn't need too long of a runway though, should it? They used to build the Tomcats at Grumman by my grandfather's house on Long Island.

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 A-10 is incapable of Mach flight and is built to loiter in the battlefield area and destroy armor. It's extremely maneuverable and feared by its enemy. Everything about it, from engines, to hydraulics, has redundancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybroome Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 The Warthog is the baddest plane ever made. Discuss... No Alk. Despite it's muscled looks, it's not THE baddest plane ever made. I worked on Harriers, Hornets, and helicopters in the Marines, and I'm still an an F.A.A. certified mechanic working on aircraft to this day. The baddest by FAR is the Air Force F-22 Raptor. They've run exercises with as many as SIX top line F-15 fighters with combat experienced pilots up against a single F-22, and the Raptor is yet to lose. Why? Even with their sophisticated radar systems, they still cannot see their adversary, and even when they do, it's too late. It has more thrust, speed, and maneuverability than ANY plane flying! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhSQ_6YyoHc As far as the A-10, it is a formidable attack platform, but with an enemy fighter in the air...it's a dead duck.

Thor99 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 DAM TWIN ENGINES!!!! what does that thing do Mach 10 lol It's one of the slowest planes out there. That Vulcan is kick ass though. When they're at the range, you hear the pbbbbllltttt of it firing and then a couple of second later you can hear the rounds hitting the target. The A-10 shouldn't need too long of a runway though, should it? They used to build the Tomcats at Grumman by my grandfather's house on Long Island. My friend's dad worked there and we used to take our cars out on the runway and they'd hit us with the radar to see how fast they could go.

And then of course, the French cornered the market on hideous airplanes in the interwar years.

AFJF Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Ever sit there and think....man...itfeels like somebody is staring at me...like a sixth sense....yeah, I had that happen one time when I was stationed in Turkey working as an Air Force cop. We were told earlier in the day that it was a "no fly" day which means no planes taking off, no planes landing. Inactive runway. Well on that particular day I was working a flight line patrol and decided to park my truck not on the runway (obviously) but on a portion of the taxi area. Well, when that "somebody is staring at me feeling" hits, I look around and see nothing. Look in my rear view mirror, and there's an A-10parked behind me trying to get on to the runway......yeah, I felt like a schmuck. Also got to see em do some live firing and those things are awesome.
