About the A-10 Thunderbolt II:
The A-10 has superior maneuverability at low speeds and altitude, thanks to straight, wide wings with downturned "droop" wing tips. These also allow short takeoffs and landings, permitting operations from rugged, forward airfields near front lines. The plane can loiter for extended periods of time and operate under 1,000 feet (300 m) ceilings with 1.5-mile (2.4 km) visibility. It typically flies at a relatively slow speed of 180 knots (200 mph or 320 km/h), which makes it a much better candidate for the ground-attack role than fast fighter-bombers, which often have difficulty targeting small and slow-moving targets.

On day 3 of the air war a US Navy F-14 was downed 80 miles from Baghdad. An A-10A called “Playtime” piloted by Captain Paul Johnson stayed on station for 10 hours providing SAR coordination as well as close air support. Because of his action Capt. Johnson earned the Air Force Cross and many missions later the aircraft 78-0681 was retired to the US AF Museum at Wright–Patterson AFB, Ohio where it can be seen.
