Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was born in South Carolina in the 1970s, and when I was 11 years old, I saw a pair of menacing aerial shapes flying low over the beach. They looked like dinosaurs come to life. They were the A-10 Thunderbolt II fighter planes, and I was hooked on them.
#2 The A-10 Warthog is a plane designed to be pitted against a massive, hulking target like a battle tank. It is not sleek or fast, but it is extremely maneuverable. It’s a single-seat attitude and philosophy that means you are completely in charge of your destiny.
#3 When you’re alone in an A-10 cockpit, you feel like you’re a part of the plane. The plane is an extension of your body. You don’t just sit there, you strap the airplane on like a backpack. The airplane is now an extension of your body.
#4 The A-10 was designed to survive and bring its crew home safely, despite suffering severe battle damage. The ground-school instructors explained how the high-bypass turbofan engines ran cool and didn’t emit much hot exhaust.
