History and Specifications:
First delivered in 1975, the affectionately named “Warthog” was iconically shaped with two external General Electric TF-34 turbojet engines at the rear. Designed to carry an incredible amount of ordinance, it features excellent wing loading and maintains a high power-to-weight ratio. Across 14 underwing weapons pylons, 16,000 lbs. can be carried, including anti-tank guided missiles, guided bombs, and air-to-air missiles. Combined with thermal imaging or night-vision targeting pods, the Thunderbolt II is capable of low-light attacks from long range. Deploying the feared GAU-8 Avenger 30mm cannon, A-10s have since become one of the most enduring ground attack aircraft in the United States Air Force’s arsenal.
