Every pilot has a list of favorite aircraft and if money were no object we would fill our hangers with them. Now I haven't seen any A10s for sale on Ebay but If I had to do it all over again I may have reenlisted for the chance to fly one of these puppies.
You start with one 20 foot long Gatling gun and then you simply build a plane around it. Details Here

- I once said, "I'll come back to Iowa when salmon start running up the Cedar River." Ironically, you never know where life's path may lead and after 20 years in Alaska I find myself once again back in Iowa. You can join me here on the banks of the Cedar River as I patiently await the return of the elusive Cedar River Salmon.
From The Salmon Library
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I went to an airshow southwest of Houston 20 some years ago and enjoyed the 2-ship A10 demo team from Barksdale AFB. After a few passes I noticed they were always doing their turnarounds over the yard of a nearby prison, very tight turns at about 300 feet. (I think it was the prison from the movie "Sugarland Express")
The prisoners had an airshow too.
I just read the spec sheet you linked to.
I knew the Warthog was cool.
I had no idea it was freaking awesome.
Good stuff.
I think its appeal to me is that it performs its best near the ground, low and slow. Kind of like a Super Cub on steroids.
