Long Wheel Base Posted March 7, 2019 Share All these flights in Boeings and heavy metal stuff..... pffft Who has flown in a “push pull” or a Super CubOr even driven (taxied) one Haven't flown in a push pull but when I was an appy, I was at an engine overhaul facility getting spares and they had one in for engine overhaul.

kosmonooit Posted March 7, 2019 Share That’s the beastRhodesians had a few in the old days Big in the Vietnam War as well, close air support Which being me onto this magnificent flying machine that refuses to go down or become redundant, the A10 Warthog Edited March 7, 2019 by kosmonooit mazambaan, Long Wheel Base, Spoke101 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Stewart Posted March 7, 2019 Share Big in the Vietnam War as well, close air support Which being me onto this magnificent flying machine that refuses to go down or become redundant, the A10 Warthog The reason for those two largish engines must be to counter-act the push back when firing that mother of all cannons at an enemy tank. I swear that A-10 probably wants to reverse when firing its main gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted March 7, 2019 Share Yes I read that it looses quite a few knots when letting of a few rounds of that 50mm. Its extremely agile,not very fast and literally bullet proof with multiple redundant systems. Pilot sits in a titanium bucket. Never been exported because its so unique and valuable, Robbie Stewart and Bateleur1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
