An A-10 Thunderbolt II, like this one, is among the various U.S. Central Command Air Forces air assets available for providing close-air support for International Security Assistance Force troops in contact with enemy forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The A-10 is specially designed for close air support of ground forces and can be used against all ground targets, including tanks and other armored vehicles. (U.S. Air Force photo/Capt. Justin T.

    The Avenger makes it look like a shark smoking a cigar.. which is rather appropriate really.

    Does it really have that flag in the windscreen, and if so, does it interfere with vision?

  4. Lawrence says:

    We could almost call this Aircraft Porn.

    Looks to me like the flag decal is in a spot which is blocked from the pilot’s vision anyway. Looks like this one has the new targeting pod- about freakin’ time, if you ask me.

    I have to thank God each and every day for those planes and the men flying them! Especially in Afghanistan where my friend is boots on the ground!

    Keep em flying!
