Took the boys to an airshow today. They had an A10 Warthog on the property. Pilot came down and gave the oldest a full tour and his very own 50mm AT shell.
It was awesome. Kid slept like a rock on the way home. Wouldn't put the shell down
Totally relevant for todays needs. One of the most enduring air platforms on the planet for a reason. Ruthlessly effective, and virtually indestructible! And the sound when overhead is very distinctive and warms an infantryman’s heart!
