Nice capture but it truly does deserve the ugliest plane award.

That's why it's called a warthog, and there is nothing better at close ground support and tank killing!
Great aircraft. Government wanted to shut this aircraft down, military fought to save it. I just read where they are refitting all sorts of new electronics to this plane along with new wings and armament. This will keep it in operation for several more years.

Some see it as ugly, but ground troops love it. It’s a great tank killer and ground support aircraft and provides good pilot protection in those low altitude runs. I think it’s a great aircraft - thanks for posting.
I just love the A-10 she maybe ugly but shes the most beautiful sight when your caught up in a complex ambush the sound of those engines and the burp of her 30mm chain gun are awesome
There is nothing in the air that does what it does.
