It's interesting that at one time the p47 was one of the largest and heaviest fighter planes in the world, and now it looks tiny compared to the a10.

the plane that tok the pic was a F-15.  We have those kind off flights over at my base but we have a p-51 instead.

What we have here is a "father and Son picture. The "son" is the result of the fathers youthful indiscretion with a saucy shop vacuum cleaner one night while imbibing too much 120 octane "joy juice".

Think that is just an illusion of the Warthog being twice as close as the P-47.  They are about the same size... Jug with a bigger fueselage and Warthog with wider wingspan.
