Jeff~SPARTA~ Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Most planes would have fallen out of the sky after taking a hit like that. There's records of A-10's taking 4-round clips of 57mm to an engine, and coming home (said engine was still running, albeit weakly), as well as having various-sized holes run through their wings. Most of said planes were patched up, and either resumed combat ops, or flew back to the states under their own power. Don't forget the titatium "bathtub" that the pilot sits in, too. I want one. I really do. Had a chance to talk to a pair of A-10 pilots at the Miramar Air Show back in '09. If we hadn't have been on-duty, I would have bought them a beer. Funny thing was, they wanted to buy me one for being a grunt. Props to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, spot on man. When I was stationed in Maryland, the ranges and training areas we used were very close to the A-10 live fire ranges. Best part of the day was watching two or three A-10's taking turns engaging targets. - JHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
