  3. interesting factoid: F-16 at 400kts can out turn anything else flying except maybe an A-10 on the deck lightly loaded. I still believe that the F-16 with another 30 sqft of wing would be unbeatable by anything else. but, there is nothing in the arsenal that costs less than the A-10 to fly per hour. i believe if the USAF voluntarily retires the A-10, the US Army will pick them up and use them for what they were designed to do. airplanes can win battles but troops on the ground win wars. unless you turn your enemy into charcoal and glass.

  4. Thanks for including DR Joe's Ov-1 Mohawk. I spent many hours strapped into the right seat of Hawks, and had a couple hours on that specific on when I was going through Surveillance Systems Operator school.

    In 2015, Mohawk Airshows took on the great patriotic endeavor of painting all 1,636 lost soldiers’ names on the fuselage of their aerobatic demonstration Grumman OV-1 Mohawk
