This is my entry into the CAS Challenge.  I build it at the last minute (as in today) after complications with my original A-10.  The A6 in the name is because it is my 6th design for the challenge, and Guardsman just sounded fitting because it was designed for CAS and protecting assets on the ground.

Fictional History:

The A6 Guardsman is a twin-engine, twin-seat close air support aircraft manufactured by Bagel Aviation Industries, and is carrier compatible with an arresting hook.  It features an afterburner to escape SAMS, as well as an internal weapon bay. It was designed to replace the Tankbuster Mk. III, another product of Bagel Aviation Industries.  Each unit costs approx. $55.2 million USD.

Operation:

Quite straightforward, usual plane controls.
AG1- Open weapons bay
AG2- Lower arresting hook
AG3- Afterburner
AG4- Not in use
AG5- Not in use
AG6- Not in use
AG7- Drop ordinance; excludes weapons bay
AG8- Not in use

Weapons:

Features 14 Mk. II Inferno missiles, 3, 500 lb Dumb Bombs, 4 Mk. VI Cleaver, 2 Mk. I Rocket Pods and a Bagel Industries minigun with tracer.
