Why the RM A-10 is better than the rest...


Recommended Posts

Yeah I saw those two pics on AF.mil the other day... REALLY nice pic...

question though (I don't know anything about Hogs): What's that "T" looking-like thing on the back? some kind of antenna?

The modeller who built this ones is not very skilled: he forgot to sand the seams down! :woot.gif:

Arrrgh! There is pretty much no way to get those panel lines scribed without deleting the raised rivets! I mean I am looking at it right now and there is nooooo way! You could scribe some of them but not all. The hunt for the perfect A-10 is not over!

Wow, does THAT bring back memories! For even more nostalgia, click here. (link is guaranteed RickRoll-free). It's funny how the sound of those things really takes you back to somewhere in the mid-70s, in the driveway with a brick-and-plywood ramp, racing one of these puppies against Evel Knievel's motorcycle. Those were the days......

Same here Steve.

I loved my SST, and you're right, seeing that commercial and hearing that sound sure brought back some great memories.

I showed my 10 year old son the commercial and he thought it was lame. The XBox generation... :D

The A-10 was also prone to bird strikes.....from the rear......

I heard that back in the late 70's, the Navy was looking to buy and convert some A-10's as CAS planes to operate from carriers, but they cancelled the program when they were having problems modifying the Hawgs for landing on the ships. Turns out the A-10's couldn't catch up to the carriers...
