I have to say that the A-10 Thunderbolt II, A.K.A. "Warthog" is the best.<br><br>It's one tough warplane- it brought a lot of pilots back home- even after getting shot up by AAA.<br><br>The business end of the A-10, the GAU-8, has taken out plenty of bad guys while protecting our troops on the ground.<br><br>http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/a-10/<br><div class="pta-link-card"><div class="pta-link-card-picture"><img src="http://www.airforce-technology.com/content/images/login.gif"></div><div class="pta-link-card-content"><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/a-10/">A-10 Thunderbolt (Warthog) - Airforce Technology</a></div><div class="pta-link-card-description">The A-10 Thunderbolt is also known as the Warthog, the 'flying gun' and the Tankbuster.

Big gun but slow. Get a fighter on its tail and bye bye. The F4 was capable in both roles and then some. With over 18,000 payload, it can do some serious damage.

I'm a fan of close air support. WW II and Korea had the F-4 Corsair, Vietnam had the A-1 Skyraider, and now we have (had) the A-10. If I had to choose from those, I would.......avoid the question. Of course, if it wasn't for the P-51 escorting B-17's. This question is hard!

Never understood the sky raider. With so many years of advancement and it still seemed behind many WWII aircraft.
