Close air support overwhelmingly effective in WWI??? bwuh?

I have a spent round from one of these that my dad bought me at an air show when I was a kid. It was my favorite plane at the time, back when I had a favorite plane. Well, that and the F4 Phantom.

Oh my, that female pilot's innuendo is off the charts.

To this day, every time I see one of these goddamn things I think of Greg Gates from U.N. Squadron.

From one of my old random_forum_quotes.txt files:

"Look at my gatling gun. This is the kind of gun they used to put PLANES on. It wasn't a case of 'Oh, we got this jet fighter, it kinda needs something besides missiles and bombs and shit, let's strap this thing on'. NO. It was a case of a guy making a gun SO awesome, that he just stepped back, and said, 'This shit needs to fly'. And everyone else is like, 'You cant make a gun fly!'. And the first guy is all like, 'Fuck you, yes I can. I will strap a PLANE to this GUN.' And everyone's like, 'You mean strap the gun to a plane?' And the first guy is like, 'No, man. I am strapping the plane to the gun. The plane is an ACCESSORY.' And then everyone's minds were blown. Like, there was some serious mind blowing going on there. Ears were bleeding. Synapses just went an committed suicide because it was so awesome."
