Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog)

Fort Smith, AR

This is the business end of a Warthog, the incredible GAU-8A Avenger, 30mm cannon. This is the most powerful gun ever fitted to an airplance, and in essence the A-10 was built around the gun. Firing depleted uranium shells, it can defeat any main battle tank in existence.
