Fairchild Republic A‑10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog).

 

El A-10, apodado Warthog (“jabalí”) por su aspecto robusto, es uno de los aviones militares más especializados que existen. Fue diseñado específicamente para apoyo aéreo cercano a tropas en tierra y para destruir vehículos blindados, especialmente tanques.

 

Su fabricante fue la empresa Fairchild Republic.

Hizo su primer vuelo en 1972 y entro en servicio en 1977.

Su usuario principal es la USAF, United States Air Force.

 

Alcanza una velocidad máxima de unos 706 km/h y tiene una autonomía aproximada de 1.300 km.

El A-10 está construido literalmente alrededor del cañón GAU‑8/A Avenger, que es su arma mas famosa, con un calibre de 30 mm.

Tiene una cadencia de hasta 3.900 disparos por minuto y su

munición consta de proyectiles perforantes capaces de destruir blindados.

 

️ Esta diseñado para la supervivencia en combate, es extremadamente resistente, debido a que su cabina esta protegida por una “bañera” de titanio para el piloto.

Puede volar con un motor destruido y también puede seguir volando con parte del ala o la cola dañadas.

Tiene sistemas duplicados para aumentar la supervivencia.

Esto lo hace ideal para volar a baja altura sobre zonas de combate, donde otros aviones serían demasiado vulnerables.

 

Sus misiones principales son, el apoyo aéreo cercano (CAS) a tropas terrestres, la destrucción de tanques y vehículos blindados y el ataque a posiciones enemigas con bombas o misiles.

 

Puede llevar una gran variedad de armamento, como los misiles antitanque AGM‑65 Maverick, bombas guiadas por láser o GPS y

cohetes y bombas convencionales.

 

Ha participado en diferentes conflictos, como son la Guerra del Golfo, la de Afghanistan, la de Iraq, operaciones contra el ISIS y actualmente en la Guerra de Iran, con operaciones en el estrecho de Ormuz.

  

El A-10 Warthog es uno de los aviones de ataque más efectivos jamás construidos, lento para estándares de cazas, pero muy resistente, preciso y devastador contra objetivos terrestres.

 

Zipolit (Oaxaca, Mexico) is famous for its waves, but it's pretty dangerous as well. In the local language 'Zipolite' means: the killing beach.

Tanis put together a burlesque show at a new venue I'd never been to before. It was a good show! Venue was pretty cool, too (importantly, it was pretty cool *literally*, since it was like 90 degrees out today). Would've preferred better lighting, but that's always true.
