The A-10's official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt of World War II, a fighter that was particularly effective at close air support. The A-10 is more commonly known by its nickname "Warthog" or simply "Hog".


So anyone can tell me why we did get the p-51 and not the p-47?
Im just a little bit curious what the connection is with the p-51 (its one of my favorits airplaine!)

because the company/group that owns Eagle Dynamics, owns a P-51.

I thought you were implying it was the P-51 over P-47 based on what they owned. They own both.

Why the P51 indeed.

IMHO to divert attention from the fact that Nevada is way overdue and there is nothing tangible on the Fast Mover.

ED wants us all to take the blue pill.

I took a blue pill and haven't been able to wear pants for hours.

But yeah the P-51 was an odd thing to do unless they have more WW2 stuff in the works.
