Picture of the Day: Double Whoosh
By John
Yeah, more Hogs. Don't act surprised, you knew it was coming.
Slab's favorite airframe btw. Okay, or not. Our own ANGLICO Marine says:
Meh, give me a section of skids (AH-1Ws and UH-1Ns) any day. For that matter, I'll take an AV-8B or an F/A-18D over an A-10. I am a little biased, but I guess I'll just continue to be the naysayer around here.
Two A-10 Thunderbolt IIs fire AGM-65 Maverick missiles over the Pacific Alaska Range Complex April 24 during live-fire training. The A-10s are from the 355th Fighter Squadron from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. Members from the 355th FS are tasked to provide mission ready A-10s and a search and rescue capability, in Alaska and deployed sites worldwide. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Robert Wieland)

Hey ANGLICO, how about the good old A6E Intruder?
She could pack a lot more ordnance and lay it down in ANY weather, shipmate. OK, I know they are all in the desert. But as a member of VA-145 and VA-128(twice), I have to stand up for the SkyPig.
Glenn, I'd take some Intruders gladly, but they're not flying over here. As long as there's a Marine on the stick. I'll take a Navy guy too, haven't had any issues with them. Even an Air Force Viper or Mud Hen will do in a pinch. But I still don't trust the Hawg guys after An Nas.
And we've been through all of this before, I know that last part ain't necessarily rational, but there it is.
