"Thunderstruck"
For sheer firepower, there isn’t much that compares to the A-10. Designated the “Thunderbolt
II,” but more affectionately known as the “Warthog,” the A-10 is among the most lethal and
most resilient aircraft to enter the force.
The A-10 is the first aircraft designed specifically for close air support and can survive direct
hits from armor-piercing and high explosive projectiles up to 23mm. The aircraft was built
around its GAU-8/A Avenger seven-barreled cannon, the most powerful gun ever fitted to a
tactical aircraft. The ultimate measure of a fighting force’s effectiveness is the ability to rapidly
project and sustain an effective combat force close to a potential battle area. Threats to U.S.
interests have changed in the past year and many combat scenarios will be played out toe-to-
toe with the enemy at close quarters. Despite improved capabilities of potential adversaries,
the A-10 accomplishes its mission by it’s capacity to deliver punishing firepower, yet
withstand astonishing damage at extremely close quarters.
"Thunderstruck” depicts a pair of “Hawgs” ravaging a column of tanks in the close confines
of a mountain road. With it’s GAU-8/A Avenger blazing, the lead aircraft makes short work of
the enemy’s assets, as the ground passes by in a blur of speed.
“Thunderstruck” is carefully reproduced on 100 lb. Archival Stock, each print is individually
signed and inspected by the artist for color consistency and accuracy. An edition of 100
signed and numbered artist proofs are available for $165.
