The earliest relative of the A-10 was found this week in the desert outside DM AFB, it is estimated the fossil is about 100,000,000 years old and was found in the position it die, reaching for the sky where it lived and hunted. It lived in the Cacasous-Asotous-Sono or CAS period and scientists are debating why it died out. Some believe it was so ugly it could not find sustenance (it lived on a green leafy plant called funding) and so slowly starved to death in the desert where it felt most at home.
The creature has been named T-hog and bares a striking resemblance to it descendent the A-10 Warthog. The T-hog is a lot smaller than the Warthog of today and probably only carried a 20mm gun in it's nose and a few hundred gallons of fuel in it's smaller belly. Please visit
