WIKI

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 1976, it is named for 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.

    Beautifully detailed design, incredible work!!!
    Flies great, too! And there ain't a cooler plane out there than the A10 Warthog. It's been my favorite military plane forever so I was super jazzed to see that someone so talented had created a masterpiece replica on SimplePlanes, so thank you from one guy to another.
    Additionally... Obviously I don't know your background but I sincerely hope you are pursuing a career in CAD design and/or engineering, technical drawing, etc, or whatever the technical title would be (I work in medicine so it's a bit out of my scope). You have obvious talent and it would be a shame not to put it to good use. All that to say: Wow! Amazing work on this. You've BRRRRRRRRRRRT'ed your way straight into my heart, brother. 😉 👍

    @DatTrainGuy19 @TheCommentaryGuy @TTL can yall guess what I’m about to say? If you guessed report the comment and move on you were right! If not I’ve must have said this hundreds of times now, if you guys see someone breaking rules stop trying to argue with them in the comments please for the love of all thats holy stop it, it gets very old trying to clean up one of these dumpster fires in the comments when yall do this, and it makes the situation worse in general and keep extending the drama out when it probably would have been lessened and or ended if everyone had just simply reported the comment then just went on about the day like normal without starting a argument in the comments, leave the moderation to us
