Oh yeah! The A-10 was a favorite of mine since I was little! Its got teeth and can take a beating too!
BTW, We saw a Raptor in flight at an airshow last year.. totally amazing. It did a 'stop' in the air, and just floated there hovering it looked like. SO cool. It has rotating thrusters, right? I have some video of it somewhere.. gave me goosebumps!
