A friend of mine sent me this, thought it makes a couple of good points, the toughness of the A-10 and "Lady" Pilots.

This is a picture of one of our Hogs that just refused to go down. This hog was shot at numerous times. I saw this plane coming in a few hours ago, and we were overjoyed to watch it come home and land. The last picture is one of the pilot (the female).
Amazing things are happening here each and every day!
This is the "Lady" Pilot, If this doesn't prove the Ladies can handle it, nothing does!
