I always liked the hog when I was younger, but I loved all airplanes (being an Air Force Brat <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> but when I was older and we lived in Plattsburg AFB we use to drive through the mountains to visit family in Buffalo and we would always see Hogs flying around the mountains...I remember one time we went over the crest of a hill and there were 2 A-10s coming right at us, I was about 12 years old and thought it was the coolest thing..from then on I loved them...when I joined the Air Force I couldn't pick a specific airframe, but went with "Tactical Aircraft" I just lucked out with actually being able to work the old girl...I have to say, as much as being a crew dogg sucked, it was the best job I've had...nothing like working 12 hours the day before on her and have her fly the next day coming back Code I after every flight <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>...I've been a depot mechanic on F-15s, a F-15 Quality Specialist and now an in Quality "Compliance" section and it sure isn't as fun as the "old" days (Go ahead Dice, laugh I know the old days was only 5 years ago for me..lol) But I have done well for myself, a 26 (almost 27) year old GS-9 (soon to be GS-11) ain't bad....To all the hog maintainers (even pointy heads and weapon pukes ) and drivers...I envy ya'll...This (Warthog Territory) & Dices Site (Hogpen) are my only links to the old girl now...<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>
