The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single seat, twin turbofan engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force. Commonly referred to by its nicknames “Warthog” or “Hog”, its official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a fighter particularly effective at close air support.
They are among the most beloved military aircraft to ever see combat. Here we see U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthogs from the 122nd Fighter Wing, Indiana Air National Guard during a training event in Sliac, Slovakia on July 26, 2016. Enjoy.
