| The A-10 is without a doubt the best aircraft of it's type in the world for all of the reasons listed previously.
As for replacing the engines on the B52 with engines of three times the thrust. Would this be practical, would the airframe be up to it? Engines delivering three times the thrust probably use four times the fuel, what would this do to the range. They have done a magnificent job in time of need, but it may be time to just start again. |
