I'm with you Joe, i'm no fan of the Lawndart either. Hell, i think it's an excommunable offense in the A-10 community to publically admire that gurlie sized pointy nose jet.
Lawndart Driver: "We took off and really stretched out the mission to the edge of our range. I tell ya, i swore we were gonna flame out and have to ditch on the way home! Then, when we found the targets we hit them with everything we had, really blasted the hell out of them."
Translation: "We flew 100 miles from our base and were directed by an OA-10A FAC-A bird at 5k AGL to attack an enemy column from 15k AGL, so we rolled in hot and at almost bingo fuel we dropped BOTH of our Mk82 Iron bombs on the enemy, and scored what looked like at least one near miss!"
Lawndarts, lol...

"I only look happy because i'm about to kill you."
