Ha! The picture is a radio control electric ducted fan model. Though not real, the model is surprisingly scale and realistic in flight. It is made by Freewing an is available at Motion RC. Here is the video of the model flying:
Also checkout this awesome REAL A-10 in action!

that is a remarkable video, thank you for posting it .... the fellow at the control did an outstanding job .... I'd love to give that a try but I know that there is no way I could afford the landings with me at the control ....:eek:

The A-10... did you know the gun was designed before the airplane and that the airplane was built around that 30mm gun? How about the fact that a farmer designed the ammo drum? Did you know that if you don't close the load gate when feeding in rounds, they'll come right out? I sure do.:rolleyes:. 462 from way back! Well, from '92... loaded A-10s from 1998-1999 in Osan, Korea.
Hey Ty - I was there back then running the AMOC and coaching the rugby team. You didn't play rugby did you?

No, I didn't. I was in the weapons flight as a load team chief working mostly the day shift though I remember cleaning quite a few impulse carts out of bomb racks which was mostly a swing shift job. My dorm was the closest one to the sightlines access there.
