Just love those A-10's they are awesome. OMG, what could have been.

I agree Mark. Just think if our gunships could have stood off half a click or more and delivered their firepower. I'm glad our guys and gals now have this modern technology that cuts down on friendly casualties.
Of course, they don't get to see A1Es swooping down in a vertical dive or a helicopter gunship at treetop level, or lower, with two crazy doorgunners hanging on the skids.
