never seen a A10 fly

but did get to see one up close at the USAF museum in Dayton

Got to see two fly a few years ago. Hopefully this year too.

Ugh that Iroquois is amazing

it hasnt flown in months 😦

rn they are using the red one that I always post

it looks like a blast to ride around with the door open,

here is a quote from their website "In addition to Patrol Operations, Search and Rescue, and Aerial Firefighting, the Aviation Support Bureau personnel are also trained, equipped, and ready for specialized missions such as SWAT insertions to include fast rope, ***SWAT aerial shooting***, remote K9 insertions, and offshore Dive Team insertions. "

Oh yeah

"aerial shooting" that's straight out of Vietnam

Not my photo obviously

But I love this plane

Is that a wildcat, hellcat, or bearcat?

hot

Hellcat

They're easy to tell apart from each other.

Bearcat is smaller and has a bubble canopy

Wildcat is mid-winged and has the main gear retract just aft of the engine.

The Hellcat is low-winged.

Ahhh

And the arrangement of the guns is different vs the Wildcat.

I didn’t know any of that. Never seemed to notice/search them up

The Bearcat also has a four bladed prop.

And is noticeably smaller than the Hellcat.

Dauntless SPD is my favorite from WWII. Sure it wasn't as good as the others, but those dive runs just rattles my soul. It's just so awesome and the pilot's skill

Spitfire

Fact is the Dauntless probably has the highest carrier kill count of any plane lmao.
