The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft developed by Fairchild Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). In service since 1977, it is named after the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, but is commonly referred to as the "Warthog" or simply "Hog". The A-10 was designed to provide close air support (CAS) to friendly ground troops by attacking armored vehicles, tanks, and other enemy ground forces; it is the only production-built aircraft designed solely for CAS to have served with the U.S. Air Force. Its secondary mission is to direct other aircraft in attacks on ground targets, a role called forward air controller-airborne; aircraft used primarily in this role are designated OA-10.
This is my first try at a real plane! Please let me know in the comments what you think so I can keep trying to get better. Enjoy!
(NOTE; trim will need to be used to keep strait.)

@ChaseplaneKL
Thanks for the upvote! Yea I know it's small, it was my first attempt at a real aircraft and I'm really proud of it considering it was the plane that really started My career here going. Without it, I wouldn't have had motivation to build my other great builds like my F58A/B.
Nice! Cockpits a bit small but great build!
@TheUltimatePlaneLover ok thanks

Feel free to ask me if you have any issues or other questions :D
I will say though, when it comes to Funky Trees, XML, Overload, and Modding, I'm not the most experienced
