Dubbed Warthog, Hog or just Hawg, the A-10 Thunderbolt II is, basically, an airplane built around the GAU-8 Avenger 30-mm hydraulically driven seven-barrel Gatling-type cannon. 3900 rounds in 60 seconds. Kinda like the movie, if you the target you are gone in 60 seconds.

Methinks Jingles piloted one of these if I’m not very much mistaken. Saved the free world, what?

Got a feeling he had a hand in the design, as well. And testing.

That would fuck up Russian armor pretty good.

A Hog and the Vietnam era's version of close air support, the Douglas A1 Skyraider.
