[ARC5] A10 Warthog

[Michael Bittner]

Nice description, Nick!  
I just can't see an F-35 getting down and dirty like the A-10.

Some of these attack/fighters must be using pseudo random noise modulation for jam-resistant communictions, even ARC-164s retrofitted for same?

  We were on vacation in Germany in 1984 and driving through some back country where an exercise was going on (a little disconcerting to come around a corner to find a tank muzzle aimed at your rental car). 

  We were crossing a ridge into a valley when two A-10's popped up on either side of us, cruised down each side of the valley (at what looked like treetop height), crossed at the end of the valley and swept back up the opposite sides. It was wickedly beautiful....
