There were some pictures of an A-10 that took a metric sload of damage and rounds and returned to base anyway. Parts were torn to shreds. The COOLEST part of this plane is that if the cannon fires for more than a few seconds per burst, the recoil can STOP the plane. Even though that ugly thing is basically armored engines with a stick.
