Well, have to admit, I was shocked earlier.


Was looking up some info on various airframes and was doing an in depth look at the A10. I found this site:

http://www.combatreform.org/aircommandos.htm

At first, not so bad. Some good points made, but a little over the top at times. In fact, it reminded me of ole Sparky himself.

Read further, again, a few good points, even more out there, and then, proof!

In one section he talks about a modified OA10B, loaded with high end electronics and sensors (Which defeats the whole rugged and simple thing, but..) and called it a Super Hog. Which dovetailed well with an Army Vehicle he felt served the same basic role in the Army: The M113 *Super* Gavin.

Yes, *SUPER* Gavin!
