This is a rough replica of the Republic / Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II.
There are a few things that arent quite correct and she is a fair bit over powered, engine wise. She is good fun to fly, though.
I took the liberty of adding a generic loadout. Im not sure how accurate it is, however.
Have fun.

@ChiChiWerx Thanks. TERs, I'll remember that. As for the missiles; I just relocate, test, relocate, test untilit stops exploding all over the place.
@GhostHTX sounds good. The 3 station bomb racks are know as Triple Ejector Racks or TERs. How are you going to prevent the missiles from destroying your jet? I've had that issue in the past, but don't know of a consistent solution...
@ChiChiWerx Many thanks.
I am working on an improved version now. I have addressed an issue whereby when launching AGMs in certain orientations, the said AGM would shoot you down. I also added some cameras to the "ECM/targeting" pods, so that you can check quickly if you managed to hit the target with the regular iron bombs. I also made up a "triple" bomb carrier - so that you can squeeze even more ordinance on there.
Hoping to finish it up / upload it on the train ride home.
This is really good, especially considering that you're working on iOS, which has a long list of limitations.
