Can anyone tell me if these were used by hog drivers or just a similar designation? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 25237&rd=1 |

This apparatus has NOTHING to do with the Warthog...the A-10 designation is an USAAF nomenclature...someone on eBay mistakenly thought the A-10 had something to do with the current HAWG...you see , to work one of these things you need to have a nagigator on board...and I always thought I'd rather have the extra 200 lbs of gas...single seat, single engine...the only way to flay!....oh, yes, The Warthog still is single seat, single engine...2 x 1/2 engines...do the math...Cheers, All!

Wouldn't you rather have 5000 lbs more fuel than a lift engine? And could you give your opinion on the timeless question...Which thing is really the most useless to a fighter pilot? a) altitude above you b) runway behind you c) fuel in the tanker d) other THE RAMPTOR ENGINEERING TEAM <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> "Who cares if it works?

Nicely spoken, STRESS...reminds me of the airlift business in which every trash-hauling airplane we have bought after the C-130 was always"sold" as able to operate from unimproved dirt strips..AND WE NEVER used then that way....how many $$$ do you suppose we crammed down that bottomless pit!....same with vertical jets...what's the deal...not only would I prefer the extra 5K in gas...how about the $10 million each extra jet costs to have that capability!!...oh well.....Did you ever think if we had started WWII with a fleet of combat airplanes as old as our present one....we'd had some Wright Flyers in the combat inventory....hmmmm Cheers, All!
