Looking at this photo (great perspective btw) makes me realize how much of this aircraft is engine! As a GE Aviation alum - luv those TF-34s! Of course, the GE GAU-8 is amazing also! Long live the Warthog!!!

Probably saved more lives that just about any other ground support aircraft.

As a former airborne infantryman, these were my favorite aircraft. Now as a civilian flight instructor these are *STILL* my favorite aircraft. Beautiful photo!

one Bad Ass bird! I saw Warthogs in action on the highway of death during Desert Storm. 100% kill rate every pass, all day long! oo-rah!

Mike, can't argue but don't forget about the P-47 "Jug", different era, same effect!

Not real pretty, one hell of a war plane

Mike, don't want to split hairs over which is the foremost close air support aircraft, but let's not overlook the A1-H Skyraider/Spad.This aircraft was a real tactical asset for Marine and Army ground units in Viet Nam. Just like the Warthog, it was a flying tank, and the troops loved them.

soupy264, you seem familiar with this particular aircraft, is it a 78 model# 0670 or is it an 80 model #0279 like the paint on the nose and tail seem to indicate?
