Rivets and Cylinders

Description

This A-10 is more than just a hunk of metal built around a 30mm canon. When it was built here at Republic Airport, many people were involved in the making of this plane. Every rivet and component was installed by someone, just like with the commercial jets of today. It amazes me how planes still involve a lot of manpower to manufacture, but cars are mostly automated.

And you know what this aircraft and the B-52 are the most feared aircraft by ground troops. :thumbsup:
