The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American twin-engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic in the early 1970s. It entered service in 1976, and is the only United States Air Force production aircraft designed solely for close air support, including attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets.
This A-10 is very balanced at full throttle, despite the engines being so high. She flies, lands, and handles like a boss and can be fitted with armament if you please. I decided to take off my missiles because it lowered the center of mass too much and caused down pitching.
Have fun and fly sober.
