Grandfather of the A-10
A medium ground attack aircraft made in 1949 it is very well armed with 10 armament pods plus 6 .50 machine guns and an 85 mm cannon.
It was heavily used in the Korean War and was also used in a smaller unit in the Vietnam War being used alongside the A-37 Dragonfly.
After the 60s it was still operating as a coach in its P version being used until 1979 when it was retired by Brazil
He was decisive in the Korean War with the A-1 Skyraider and the f4U Corsair he was well known for flying with a squadron of Corsairs whose people who saw him from afar thought he was just another Corsair being that it was actually a jet full of democracies ready to be dropped on enemy heads :)
