IRIS A10

Hello.

I love the contrast. Such a pretty look in a plane so deadly ... The pilot would it be a woman?

 

[skyhawka4m]

yes it is a fine looking woman too!

It was a female pilot who brought a severely crippled A-10 back to Al Jaber after being hit numerous times. . .major damage to the rudder, wings, etc. Top notch job for sure.:salute:

Geez, I´ve seen fishing nets with less holes per unit of surface area.

The WH sure has lots of survivability. Not a surprise considering it´s most major predicted task in Europe.

if i recall the warthog was designed to fly if it lost an engine or fin and rudder along with tailplane, asymetrical damage theory i think it is on the 'hog... she's robust... good job when you know my flying... i try to snap the wings off quite often in my displays and test flights

back to more 'hog work in my Paintshop
