The A-10 has a C_D_U of about 278, which the latest gliders have one of about 14. Mary, only my great respect for the technical accuracy of your previous posts prevents me from suspecting that you're considerably overestimating the attractiveness of the Warthog. Considering that C_D_U only has a scale of 1 to 250, that's hard to say. You forgot to allow for the LUF (Load Ugliness Factor) - all those Mavericks staring back at you. -- Errol Cavit | | It is currently fashionable to speak of the histories of a nation, as if there are many versions of national history (which there are), and many ways of approaching such histories (which there are), and as if they were all of equal value and validity (which they are not).
