EDUCATION
The A-10 has been a fearsome aircraft for many years, this aircraft has been a great military asset to have when in danger, this aircraft is made for punishment, it carries a 30mm GAU-8 Avenger cannon, this cannons is the aircraft, the airframe was built around the gun, we all know what a A-10 sounds like, the groan of his General Electric TF34 Engines when it flies over, and the “brrrrrrrrrrrrrrt” sounds it makes, let's just say if y ok u hear that you better pray to God that your not on the other side of the barrel. The gun is able to shoot 3900 RPM, and is effective for 4000 ft, it's maximum range for the gun is 12000 ft, this is basically gods death angel, it's not something you'd like to see flying over if you knew you were the one being targetet. The plane also is able to carry a lot of ordinance, 16000 lbs to exact, that's a lot of bombs and kisses to carry for an aircraft.

@BogdanX one last thing, your honesty on my opinion the best SP player that creates the best planes in the game, and well you’ve made this plane, and it was stunning, if it’s not to much to ask, could you fix any problems the aircraft has, and maybe add a few details the aircraft lacks, it would be an honor if you could, this plane is my retirement aircraft and I would love for it to be the best looking aircraft on my page
@BogdanX oh and I’d love to know how to fix the problems it has
@BogdanX I'd love to hear it
@danman12 no chill
@MrDoolittle brah chill
@danman12 too late you called naval aviators pilots. That's unacceptable!!!!!!! Reeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@MrDoolittle 😂😂😂 okay but I likeA-10 and not really a naval pilot kind of guy, I'd rather land on a job moving platform, that's the end of this conversation is don't want us to have any beef with each other😂
@danman12 exactly, naval aviator=better pilots
@MrDoolittle I'm good with whatever, but I'd rather fly F-22's than try to land a F-18 SuperHornet on a Aircraft carrier😂
Boo chairforce, naval aviators for the win
