Once a long time ago a pair of warthogs buzzed the fleet of racing sailboats in the Marathon to Key West race. I swear they were below mast height as they weaved effortlessly between the boats in the race. Awesome display of the agility they are famous for.

The entire concept of this plane being a tank killer and being built around a cannon built specifically for the job is just stupid genius in its simplicity. With the redundancy and armor its good for coming home too.

The Airforce just didn't know what to do with a subsonic plane that wasn't a transport.
