It's as ugly as sin and has the performance of a particularly obese bovine. Heck, the design makes a virtue of its ability to soak up ground fire because it can't dodge!
Give me something sleek like a YF-23 or a Su-27 any day! 8-)

Well, to be fair, it is not a fighter, it is a ground support platform, hence the "A" in it's designation, A-10, ie, attack. I was lucky enough to have a summer job on a fighter base patching the runways as a teenager. There was a squadron of A-10s visiting for an exercise. I always found it so cool that the things would be right on top of you before you heard them, and they sounded like a turbocharged hair dryer when you finally did hear them.

You may not have seen a western Massachusetts sunset. They can be pretty spectacular. We’ve had a run of amazing sunsets the past few days, partly due to a forest fire in Canada that’s been sending smoke our way.

Is this another version of Roko's Basilisk?

Just so.
I also never got why people called her ugly - to me, she always looked like the badass big brother of the ASK-13 I had trained on ...
