Message Number 2Date Posted: 07 October 2005, 4:44:20 PM I personally think that the A-10 does not look like a 'Warthog' or a 'Thunderbolt' (thunderbolts don't exist, only lightning bolts). However, the name Thunderbolt fits better because of that wonderful sound of exploding bombs that it makes when it flies over the Iraqi Republican Guard!

Message Number 3Date Posted: 12 May 2006, 8:18:35 AM The official designation is Thunderbolt II
People just call it the Warthog because it is one ugly bird!
