Oh yeah John, "Warthogs", the flying bathtubs, you don't want to be on the business end of it.
Like you say "close support" Nose mounted gatlig gun fires 30mm rounds close to 4000 per minute,fires Sidewinder and Maverick missels. Flys over 400mph but can fight, manuver and turn on a dime at 150.
Ya don't want to see them comin at ya flyin 300 ft over a tree line.
