A-10, Super Tough Sucesssor to A-1 Skyraider

The A-10 was the first plane engineered from the ground up to provide close air support. Lessons learned from the A-1 Skyraider were incorporated into the design of the Warthog.

No airplane today has more survivability features and no plane has accumulated a stronger record for delivering danger close air support than the A-10 since it was first deployed to active duty in 1977.

No plane is better than the A-10 in getting its piolot home after taking damage that would down any other plane.
