GOOD JOB!! I always wodered what someone was smoking when they proposed an FA-16 a few years ago, troubling mental images of whistling through the Central German forests @ 250 ft altitude in an F-16 laden down with guns pods and cluster bombs hunting tanks-

They tried the FA-16s in the early 90's, and stopped the program from what I heard due to limits the 30 MM gun pods placed on the A/C. Lowered the allowable G rate and turn radius and caused a heck of fatigue on centerline tank mounts.

Limited gun load and flying tactics didn't make for much of an impression on the figher jock club.

Besides to ask a "real fighter pilot" to take a Air Superiority Fighter slow and low, was a joke, as they didn't like to do it.

Just remember, GO UGLY EARLY for great ground support.

Perhaps I'm a little sick and twisted but I think the A-10 is sexy! Fritz that looks awesome! What program are you using?

I agree the A-10 is a good looking airplane.
