Photos of an A-10 Thunderbolt II (better known as a the Warthog) after returning from a mission over Iraq. From the size of these bullet holes, I think that this damage was done by small-caliber weapons.

The Warthog is amazing. During the Gulf War, one had an engine shot off and still returned to base. and one more...

"Killer Chick" USAF Capt. Kim Campbell was one of my mother's junior high school students! (My mother remembers her being a good & well liked student.) My brother D, worked with her dad on an election campaign. She & my brother D were also in the same graduating class in High School (1993)!

Just thought you might find these tidbits interesting.
