Thank you CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the Task and Purpose web article which I also received on Thursday "This A-10 with a P-51 Mustang paint job makes us want to BRRRT like it’s 1945"
"The paint job was the work of the Air Force's A-10 Demonstration Team, based out of Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, and was inspired by the storied P-51 Mustang of World War II – a fighter-bomber that was the U.S. military's answer to Axis fighters and ground forces alike."
"The A-10 has an avid following across the military, and it's no surprise: The Warthog is a close air support death machine designed for a single purpose — to obliterate any, and everything, on the ground – which probably makes it the most beloved aircraft among ground troops. That and it looks like the fever dream of a rip-it and nicotine-fueled aeronautical engineer who decided to slap some wings on a giant cannon — the GAU-8 Avenger — and call it a day.
Seeing as the A-10 is probably the only U.S. military aircraft that still dive bombs the ever loving hell out of its targets, it's only fitting that it looks the part."
