A-10 (Static Display)

The Magic Valley Airshow is honored to feature a static display of the formidable A-10 Thunderbolt II, affectionately known as the "Warthog." This unique aircraft is a testament to rugged design and unparalleled close air support capabilities, specifically built to protect ground troops. Its most distinguishing feature is the massive GAU-8/A Avenger 30mm Gatling gun, capable of unleashing a torrent of armor-piercing rounds. With its heavily armored "titanium bathtub" cockpit and redundant systems, the A-10 is renowned for its incredible survivability and ability to return to base even after sustaining significant battle damage, making it a true legend in air-to-ground combat.
