The only airplane where they designed the main gun first then decided to make a plane to fit it. When that gun fires the airframe shakes so bad the plane goes backwards.

The first version had the engines built halfway into the fuselage. The first time they tested the gun in flight the smoke off the gun shut down both engines. Titanium tub around the pilot. There was one during the first gulf war that was shot to hell and still flew back to base. Way cool piece of machinery.

It was a fun video game back in the day, too.

If I had to choose only one plane to take into battle, this is it.

I've met some pretty hot E36 M3 pilots, but none could fly more than 1 plane per battle.

As much as I love the A-10, I'm still in love with the Cobra. Even though the airframe is nearly 50 years old, it's an incredibly successful platform, especially the Zulu models...
