    The C-130 Holds The Distinction Of Being The Largest Fixed Wing Aircraft To Land And Take-Off From An Aircraft Carrier!! During The 1960s, The Navy Undertook A Series Of Tests Off Virginia Using A KC-130 Hercules To Land And Take-Off From USS Forrestal(CV-59). The Aircraft In Question, Called LOOK MA, NO HOOK, Is Still Around And Can Be Viewed At The National Museum Of Naval Aviation, Aboard NAS Pensacola, Florida!!

    It's true that the A-10 uses a 30 MM Vulcan, it's still a Gatling gun, google the original, it's a spinning multi barrel weapon. Anyone that says it's not doesn't know it's historical roots. I'm a big fan of the A-10, there's constant pressure to replace it with the F-35, mostly to confirm it's high cost of development, but simply doesn't do what the A-10 does nor is it as battle tough.

    In military planes there are Trucks & Ferraris. 😉 And some times the trucks are more sexy. 16:56 There is an esthetic. "If it looks right, it flies right". True in aerodynamics to a certain extent. But there may be an A-10 replacement that will be it's equal. And completely the opposite of what people are thinking. Time will tell.

    A-10 is bad to the bone, but that cowboy era gatlin' gun was on another bird during a real war. Nam, dued, Nam, merica was handling some really bad guys, that had nothing to do with what we are fighting for now. They were actually enemies. The bird. The Cobra Gunship. it had a rotating turret with a gatlin gun under its nose. rocket pods and guns on the stubby wings, it, and the LOH flew down in to the thick jungle and took hits from the bad guys. Cobra should be on yer list here...

    You can actually order a fake 30mmx173mm shell from Amazon. It’s made from an actual used spent shell casings fired from the A-10 (the spent shell casings isn’t ejected. They’re actually returned back into the ammo drum to be collected later) with an aluminum shell of correct size on top! Safe to say, the thing is a BEHEMOTH! Now, I have bullets from a dinky little .22 all the way to a .50 cal or 12.7mmx99mm. The 30mm is about 2.5 times the size of the .50 cal! It’s an amazing piece for sure.

    4. F-15E My last bird, just like the 105G a workhouse for a multitude of missions
    5. A-10 Close air support. About as close to hand to hand knife fighting as you can get in air operations. Good for the boots on the ground involved in hand to hand knife fighting.

    The B-1 and the A-10 are my personal favorites... a mach2 bomber, and a 30mm close air support anti-material cannon with wings is winning combo. The F22 and F15 are also strategically important to controlling airspace, but dominating control of the ground is more important. (They didn't mention it, but the B1 can carry more arms than the B52, and has a swing wing design, where the wings are swept back for high speed low drag flight, and swept out for low speed flight.)

    Where airplanes are concerned for planes in particular I am very much about function over form. I do realize that for air superiority aircraft there has to be a certain look or feel for the pilots to believe that they're flying what they're flying. But I can't think of a foot soldier one who's ever been on the ground who wouldn't love the A10 warthog it saves their lives literally and in the long run isn't that what's more important at least we have functional aircraft now that can do their jobs because we both know that it's going to be about 3 years before we get any kind of spending to upgrade or work on more planes so thank God we've got reliable planes. It's not so much that the general man on the street couldn't handle the truth it's at the press couldn't handle the truth and well keep their mouths shut because God knows why would they want to keep a military secret when it could protect our countries armed forces.
