Summary of Buck Wyndham's Hogs in the Sand - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. 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.
