The Vulcan (not the Star Trek one)

I hear that XH558 Vulcan will be ready quite soon, just wondering if anyone else knows (or cares) about this?

Here is a video on Google Video:-

I indeed heard about it,
I thought that it was ready for a while now, but that can offcourse be an other vulcan as wel.....anyways im not that interested in the bombers, like the fighters/support ones more Oh and the UAV's are offcourse an fav of mine...

PS, at this moment I think the A-10 is my fav military aircraft on this globe...

I concur about the A-10. I worked for a company that repaired military A-10's. Not only is it the most unique aircraft, it is also one of the safest. The pilot is completely wrapped in titanium unlike other aircrafts. Any aircraft that is as small as the Warthog with that much power, is good in my book.

yep, and I guess the GAU-8 does have something to do with that

Ps:the GAU-8 is a gatling gun, and the A-10 is more a gatling gun with an plane wrapped around it.....right bub?

Yea, that 30mm cannon is an amazing weapon. It has such a large footprint, it's unbelievable to see the size of the gatling gun. Check out this image of it. A-10 Warthog Gatling Gun by Stephen Sutton

I really like the sound of that thing too

imagine, you're fighting in Irak and you hear someone fart, when you look again the tank in front of you is completely wasted....
