I saw an article in todays newspaper which described this plane as the ugliest in the USAFs artillery...personally, I was shocked! :o

I like this plane and wouldn't mind flying it for a while, but in an airforce with F-15s and F-16s I don't think I'd be happy to plod along at 450kts for very long. Still it's got a GAU-8 Avenger, one HELL of a gun ;D.

Nice shots.

It may not be the 'prettiest' aircraft, but it's still kinda cool looking ;)

I am a huge fan of a/c with unique configurations, such as the V-22 and Gee Bee, and the Warthog is probably one of my favorite military planes.

ya i am wondering the same thing as Ender_Baron. Also the A-10 (along with most figters) was desinged for functionality not looks. If it looks good then maybe a flight demo team will use it but when one of those damn Iraqis or something is shotting at you they arent gona give a s*** about weather the thing looks great or not, they are gona like it more when it is a flaming reck. And the A-10 given it flys at slow speeds need to be able to take one h*** of a beating, which it can. With this aircraft flying at mach 1 isnt something that would help it. close support= speed not nessisary= Puch a must. so the A-10 from a Opperational stantpoint is a buttie. so really the poll should be more specific because looking at it, well lets just say it isnt the hottest girl on the tarmack but then one everyone likes.

It's ugly, not in a 'that girl isn't very pretty' ugly way, more like, a 'hey that dog is about tear me apart' ugly.

Well, I don't think there is such a thing as an ugly aircraft...  ;)  But I guess it would be the closest thing to ugly that they have in the USAF.  Great shots.  ;D
