The USAF Warthog

I grew up at tons of Air Bases and the one that had this plane was probably the best. The things I remember the most are the sounds from this plane. The engines don't sound like a normal jet, more like a really large powerful fan. The second most distinctive sound has to be the nose mounted 30MM Gatling gun. Firing at 3,900 rounds per minute, this thing is just relentless.

This plane is just nearly indestructible. Triple redundancy flight controls, self-sealing fuel tanks, gear that hangs below the plane even when folded up to help with belly landings, 900 lbs of titanium armor for the cockpit and flight controls, and a double redundant hydraulic system allow for the pilot to fly with loss of hydrolic power or the wing.

Not the easiest on the eye but this is a great example of some serious fire power that gets the job done. They just don't make them like this anymore.
