Also, an interesting fact about the A-10 is that its Gatlin gun is so powerful that when it is fired in flight, it actually slows the plane down.

Most aircraft equipped with guns or cannons have the same problem. Firing of the six .50 caliber machine guns on the old F-86 Sabre would slow down that aircaft a good 15 knots if fired continously.

Many pilots of the time were the opinion that a fighter pilot in a closed cockpit was an impossible thing, because you should smell the enemy. You could smell them because of the oil they were burning.
