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.

My wife and I had some free time so we decided to drive down to Las Vegas for the Red Flag exercise in mid-March 2025. The weather forecast was good and there seemed to be a decent line-up of participating aircraft. Unfortunately both items fell short. The sky conditions were excellent but the weather sucked. Very high winds affected some of the fighters. The first afternoon we were there all F-16s and F-35s were grounded due to crosswinds. Also unfortunate was that Flex departures were cancelled at the last minute so the planes had to do a straight out departure - this sucked for photographers. In the late afternoon the recovery shifted to landings over Cheyenne Avenue. This was our first visit there in about a year and we couldn't believe the change. It was a mix of a homeless camp, scrap yard, bombed out Gaza, and just a totally trashy area. Burned out cars and car parts were everywhere. We didn't feel safe there despite being among other plane spotters. Wow. I took these photos in mid-March 2025.
Re aircraft activity - it seemed a lot lower than at prior Red Flags. There were a lot of Nellis resident aircraft but not too many visitors. It was a decent trip but not a great one.
