A-10 Thunderbolt with Shark Face History: In October 1975, the first production A-10A was delivered to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz. It was designed specially for the close air support mission and had the ability to combine large military loads, long loiter and wide combat radius, which proved to be vital assets to America and its allies during Operation Desert Storm. In the Gulf War, A-10s, with a mission capable rate of 95.7 percent, flew 8,100 sorties and launched 90 percent of the AGM-65 Maverick missiles.
The A-10 Thunderbolt is also known as the "Flying Gun", "Tankbuster" or "Warthog". The aircraft is simple, effective and survivable twin-engine jet aircraft that can be used against all ground targets, including tanks and other armored vehicles.
The US Air Force's A-10 Thunderbolt is a relatively slow but highly maneuverable and heavily armored plane, built for attacking ground targets in support of troops. Pilots of "pointy-nosed" fast jets tend to look down on the slow, snub-nosed A-10 - one joke being that its airspeed indicator is a calendar. But it can take off and land using short runways and is able to loiter over a battlefield, hunting for targets, in a way that fast jets cannot.
*Alteration on the design such as change of paint schemes and markings or embodied features on our models occurs at any time. Detachable stand is included with the model which may vary from the photo.
