Watch this short video and you will get why everybody loves and respects the A-10, “Warthog.” By everybody I mean the troops on the ground getting its up-close-and-personal air support, and the mechanics who maintain them, and the pilots who fly them.

I can also tell you who doesn’t like them; the bad guys.

This is one tough and mean machine. They are quick, maneuverable and deadly. The sound of her weapons are unforgettable.

Some may consider it ugly, but it’s built for a fight and the men and women who fly it are serious warriors.
