    It's good to reminisce about the best damn close cover plane with survivability! I wanna see an Osprey carry that much ammo!
    Oh, wait; the Osprey carries no guns.

    You may have a point if the Warthog could carry 20 plus people, with 15,000 Lbs. of cargo slung underneath it.

    OTOH, I doubt you will ever see an F-35 come home with even 20% as much battle damage.
    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

    Yes Sir.


    Best Close Support Airframe ever developed.

    Should not (in a million years) discontinue or withdraw from service.

    I'da loved to have flown one of those.
