Airframe currently in production and relatively easy to get parts for.
Cruise speed within 20 kts of the A-10, and has a larger combat radius than the A-10.

But it lacks the big-ass gun of an A-10.
It only has (2) M3P .50 cal machine guns in each wing.

Bean counters love your option but I suspect the guys flying into combat prefer the A-10

Plane with WWII Nazi look, including swastika, lands on Atlanta road



"The plane is registered to a Buford man, FAA records show. It appears to be designed to look like a Messerschmitt BF 109, a plane used by Nazi Germany in World War II."

Uh... no.

Some countries can't afford/provide the infrastructure to field a squadron of A-10s.
I'm dealing with a country right now that can't manage the infrastructure to keep (4) helicopters flying.

Thanks, it had no emblems on it. I thought the grill opening looked Volvoish.
