But the A-10 is definatly cool.

Little trivia, anyone knows it official "name"? For example, the SR-71 (which was originally designated the RS-71 unitl a presidentail misspeak) is called the Blackbird...what is the A-10 called?

as someone posted above, the thunderbolt. its also known as the warthog
