[ARC5] A10 Warthog

[jeepp]

Jack and others,The Six was an outstanding aircraft.  The B model being slightly faster than the single-seat A model.  The two types of AA missles and the AIR-2A special weapon did (could) do the job.  At Langley in the 70's, they put a gun pod on several airframes and they turned out to be truly good at ACM.  As I recall, they fought against  F-4's and came out on top half the time.  No smoke, either... Jeep K3HVG95th FIS (AAFB and DAFB) 1962-1965

It was designed off the F-104 fuselage.
