I also find it funny that they sandbag the performance of the F22 at airshows so much for all the spies
They do have AC-130s...

And its funny, because Raptors are STILL impressive at airshows and its not even breaking a sweat

Pish posh - as much as I love Spookies, even they don't have the ridiculous survivability and maneuverability of the A10.

Not to mention the fact that the 30MM is a terrifying sound.

I agree with you on maneuverability and survivability, but with a 105mm Howitzer sticking out the side of your plane, you're doing good! I've refueled those guys too... at night of course (read as no pictures)
