The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic in the early 1970s. It is the only United States Air Force production aircraft designed solely for close air support, including attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets with limited air defenses.

The A-10 was designed around the 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon that is its primary armament and the heaviest automatic cannon mounted on an aircraft. Its official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt of World War II, a fighter that was particularly effective at close air support. However, the A-10 is more commonly known by its nicknames "Warthog" or "Hog".

An experimental two-seat A-10 Night/Adverse Weather (N/AW) variant was designed and built for specific operations. It included a second seat for a weapons system officer responsible for electronic countermeasures (ECM), navigation and target acquisition. The N/AW version did not interest the USAF or export customers. The two-seat trainer version was ordered by the Air Force in 1981, but funding was canceled by U.S. Congress and the jet was not produced.

This rough and tough bird flies like a dream. It features retractable gear, six missiles, and incredible detail. When taking off, achieve a ground speed of 180-200mph before gently pulling back on the stick. Although she flies great, landing is extremely difficult (because of the gear setup and the break physics in the game).

When touching down, avoid activating the breaks because it will cause an irrecoverable wobble. You must touch down at speeds below 150mph to have enough room to stop; hence the high level of difficulty in landing.

I've been holding on to this hog for a while now perfecting its looks and performance. As a thank you to the SimplePlanes community and all those involved, I present what I consider to be my best replication to date! I appreciate all who took the time to fly my planes and gav
