If I sound enthusiastic about the exhibits at the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum near Savannah, Ga., it’s because I am. Having been a teenager during World War II, I discovered the museum was full of stuff I knew and full of stuff I didn’t. The exhibits show the heroism of the men who flew up in the air knowing the risk. When the United States entered World War II in 1941 and began sending bombers over Europe, one out three of airmen were killed and one out of three were shot down and captured. ...

The video I posted a couple days ago with a fabulous and rather large A-10 RC model powered by 2 small turbine engines really got me fired up (again) on the A-10 Thunderbolt ll (Warthog), so I went looking for a pic to make into a CoolPix. This one seemed to capture the essence of Farchild’s tank killer pretty well, especially since the big cannon in the nose is hard to miss.
