[ARC5] A10 Warthog

[William Ripley]

The A-10 has been on the chopping block several times, but by some miracle, it keeps evading the trip to the boneyard and it’s associated weighted blade.

Actually, the name of the plane is the A-10 Thunderbolt.

But the pilots and ground crews thought they were as ugly as a wart and thus picked up the name "Warthog."

Loved by U.S. Ground-pounders everywhere.

Hi,

There is a National Guard facility a little north of my home. This
morning a low flying jet passed over my home. I went outside to look and
it was a A10 Warthog (two of them). I had thought that model was retired
and *gone*. I looked it up and those are still in service and expected
to remain for quite some time to come. I had it confused with a Navy
airplane.

Relevance to the list..the A10 has military aircraft radios aboard :)

73,

Bill KU8H
