Great story or courage and determination.
Love that aircraft, it is unique in that the designers built the plane around the cannon. A great pilot is a great pilot regardless of their sex, she proved herself to be a great pilot in bringing that A-10 back and landing it, as damaged as it was.
If she can do that, she will hold her own in combat!

She sure earned that award! Good Job
Great story! I was involved in the design and build of the engines used on this amazing aircraft. Always good to know that they brought another fighter home safely.
I got goose-bumps after reading the story. Thanks for posting.

The flying tank. An aircraft that can take a hell of a lot of abuse and keep flying!

You're kidding, right? It says so right at the beginning. First sentence.
It's formal designation is Thunderbolt II, but it's better known by that other name.
