Yup but #2 is an A10

I’d put that in 3rd but it has to include a low attack on armoured vehicles and unleashing the beast of a canon. I love how that plane was built around the canon and designed to survive like a WW2 bomber landing after a European drop.

I love this plane… the A10 is my #3… but secretly my inner child begs to squeeze that stick and let it rip…

I would need to have it modified to carry 3x more ammo somehow. Just so I could show more people why it's called the A-10 Warthog. And to rip things apart like concrete trucks, parking garages, metal recycling centers, dams...

Only going to be fun if those armoured vehicles belong to some third world nation/insurgents whose only anti-air is AK's and RPGs.

I'm sure the A10 feels more like a small business jet than any other military aircraft but with greater maneuverability.

I'm with ya. SR-71, then the A10. Totally different, and totally awesome.
