Without a doubt, The A-10 Thunderbolt II is one of the most loved aircraft of aviation lovers around the world. If you ask why there are a lot of reasons behind it.

Another reason to love the A-10 is that it has some awesome engineering behind it. If we talk about a few, the cockpit of this aircraft is well protected by a 1200 pound titanium “bathtub”. If you have ever seen real footage of A-10s in action you won’t ask why. This aircraft can be subjected to heavy damages by the ground enemies since it is flying very low to support ground friendly forces.
