It's not that fast, it's not that agile, but it's got serious bite and you don't want to be around when one comes in for an attack. [thumbsup]
Many planes have been "retired" and I'm glad that the Hog hasn't. The saddest day was when they retired the F-117 and I saw this: (http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/F-117_stealth_fighter_RIP.jpg) RIP.
