Summary of Buck Wyndham's Hogs in the Sand

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I was born in South Carolina in the 1970s, and when I was 11 years old, I saw a pair of menacing aerial shapes flying low over the beach. They looked like dinosaurs come to life. They were the A-10 Thunderbolt II fighter planes, and I was hooked on them.#2 The A-10 Warthog is a plane designed to be pitted against a massive, hulking target like a battle tank. It is not sleek or fast, but it is extremely maneuverable. It s a single-seat attitude and philosophy that means you are completely in charge of your destiny.#3 When you re alone in an A-10 cockpit, you feel like you re a part of the plane. The plane is an extension of your body. You don t just sit there, you strap the airplane on like a backpack. The airplane is now an extension of your body.#4 The A-10 was designed to survive and bring its crew home safely, despite suffering severe battle damage. The ground-school instructors explained how the high-bypass turbofan engines ran cool and didn t emit much hot exhaust.
