The Warthog (as its pilots call it) is a dedicated
ground attack aircraft. The Warthog’s natural
prey are main battle tanks, and it carries the
most powerful cannon of any aircraft flying: the
GAU-8A Avenger seven-barreled 30mm, firing
depleted uranium slugs. The gun was meant for
ground targets, but all Warthog pilots dream of
the day when they can zap an overconfident
fighter jock.

The Tornado was a joint British, German and
Italian design project completed in the mid ’80s.
The idea was to create a jet which could be
configured as a ground attack plane or as an air
superiority platform. They came very close to
doing it. The Tornado presented here is the
fighter version. If this excellent plane has a
weakness, it is the slow top speed.
