There are sexy planes like this graceful-looking machine.
SR-71 Blackbird

And then there’s the Warthog.
A-10 Thundebolt
Dave Weinbaum pays homage to the A-10, the ugliest plane in our arsenal that everybody loves.

    I posted your link over at forums.jetcareers.com in the general section. One of the commenters/moderators of the forum is a former A10 driver. You might be interested in the thread: http://forums.jetcareers.com/general-topics/124923-homage-10-a.html

    Appreciate that. I’ve always loved the A-10. I made models of it as a kid and played video games with it in college. As an amateur military historian I would argue that no plane has fulfilled its mission as well as the A-10. There is simply no other plane that gets the job done as well, and is nearly impossible to shoot down.
