Check out this footage of an A-10 in Afghanistan on a building... Shows the true power of the sucker man.

I've seen live fire demonstrations of the A-10 when it was first placed in service.
Awesome :O
After all it's a plane built around I believe a 30mm Gatling gun.
Tom Clancy in his book "Red Storm Rising," had a Russian General dub them
"The Devil's Cross."
If you're enemy armor and an A-10 appears, your day just took a turn for the worst.
It was always comforting to know they were on our side.

I heard from an inside source that the building was actually a pre-school for disabled children.

Well, the ammo depends on the mission and sometimes the pilot. The majority of the times the, "party-mix" is used. The party-mix includes a ratio of 1AP:2HE rounds.

Honestly TwentyFo, are you even American?  :huh

You never say a damn thing nice about America, or it's Military. An "inside source" is bogus. I could say myself, "I heard from an inside source that TwentyFo is a child molesting pedophile" but I don't.

I honestly used to think you were a pretty cool person. I didn't care about your political thoughts, or what you thought, but this has honestly gone over the line, I just lost all respect for you as a member of the Lynchmob and the AHII Community.
