Country: | Take it from an old Scooter driver, it's the A-4 Skyhawk by a wide margin...
(Unless you are talking active inventory.)  | |

Country: | No, its would be alot easier to shoot down a skyhawk with a S.A.M then it would be with a Warthog

Country: | You sure about that Hussars. The A-10 is a lot slower than that A-4.
Granted the A-10 is probably more maneuverable.
I think the A-10 is the best attack but and A-10 would not be any harder to shoot down with a SAM than any other conventional aircraft.

Country: | Im talking about its durability, the A-10's rear can endure a sh*tload of damage, which is more than can be said about the A4

Country: | Good aircraft, but the A-10s got the fire power and survivability.

A placard said that the left turning tendencies were so severe that during full power T/O roll rull right rudder was not enough to offset, so the engine was mounted off center.

I'm hoping that she becomes more interested in aviation after I get all those FAA licenses and can take her up and show her "real flying," not commercial flight which is all she's experienced.
The sensor fused weapon will give US aircraft (A-10 included) an antiarmor capability that any other nation's attack craft could only dream about...
