McDonnell-Douglas C-17 Globemaster III

[Joe Copalman]

I was implying that A-10s cannot seize ground, liaise with allies or village chiefs or whatever, detain insurgents, pursue and keep sustained fire on the enemy without having to hit a tanker or RTB for more ammo, or do any of that stuff that the A-10 was designed to support, not supplant.  The "meat bombs" dropped by C-17s win wars, the A-10 helps win battles.  That's what I was getting at, that C-17 pilots have as much right to brag about what they drop on the enemy as Hawg drivers do.  That said, give me a choice to fly either a C-17 or an A-10, and you'd better believe I'm going with the A-10.

Wow.  That does kind of have an "Eye of Sauron" look to it.  Very cool.
