Guns were always added as an afterthought.... A10... the plane built around a gun
GTAHVIT has a cool story about a A10 run, maybe he'll be around to share

1) What is your favorite Post WW2 fighter jet.
2) What is your favorite airplane of all time.

I think the F-14 Tomcat is my favoite modern day fighter. Sexy lines.

As far as my favororite? SR-71 Blackbird, of course.
F-22 and the Bell X-1
