A U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II ground-attack aircraft is refueled over southern Afghanistan Aug. 18, 2011. The most prominent feature of the A-10 is the 30 mm GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling-gun cannon. This weapon is capable of firing 3,900 rounds a minute and can defeat an array of ground targets, including tanks. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Jeffrey Allen)

Yeah.. I can't remember where I read it, maybe it was here.... Anyways, a boom operator said he had hit the gun of the A-10 before. We've had boom operators gouge holes in the fuselage of the 'Merc lookin for a plug.
