Affectionately known as the Warthog (or just plain 'Hog') the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is one of the most distinctive aircraft in the USAF arsenal. This single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft was developed specifically for the United States Air Force and is an iconic attack aircraft that has conducted multiple missions with devastating impact, thanks in part to its 'tank-busting' cannon. This eagerly awaited special looks at a modern classic that first appeared in the seventies and has been widely used in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Middle East.
