That's great. I've been looking for a low-light P&S. ISO800 with antishake might

Pity about the name. The A10 brings up an image of a very evil and ugly looking
tank-busting plane :P

IMO the A-10 Warthog is one of the coolest looking planes around.
But I've been told I have no taste

Of course I am always late to these threads,
My introduction to the A-10 Warthog was when I was involved, as an
outsider, in war games in Fort Hunter Liggett, California.
I was working in a semi-trailer which contained telemetry equipment to
capture data from a radar system located on tanks. We were in between a
couple of hills. I got a little tired of being in there and decided to
take a break outside.
I had just stepped outside when I heard the rumble or tanks coming over
one of the hills and then heard a whistling. I looked behind me and
that was when I gor my first glimpse of some A-10 planes coming over the
other hill. Most impressive. It was then that I decided it was
probably best to get back in the trailer.
I later had a chance to verify electronic warfare pods on these same
planes during these same games ( I even verified them on F-18 jets and
Cobra helicoters).
Bringing back some memories from one of my first assignments out of school,
