·	The first Air Force aircraft specially designed for close air support.

·	Although originally named the Thunderbolt II, its unusual appearance and odd flight characteristics led to its nickname of "Warthog”.

·	First introduced in 1977, the A-10 proved to be a vital asset to America and its allies during Operation Desert Storm. In the Gulf War, Warthogs flew 8,100 sorties and launched 90 percent of all AGM-65 Maverick missiles.

·	No other aircraft could carry as much fire-power for so long, take as much punishment, or turn around so quickly for another fight as the venerable Warthog.

·	You’ll be amazed at the detail and true-to-life features of this powerful re-creation.
