The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force to provide close air support (CAS) of ground forces by attacking tanks, armored vehicles and other ground targets with a limited air interdiction capability. It is the first U.S. Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for close air support.

The A-10's official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt of World War II, a fighter that was particularly effective at close air support. The A-10 is more commonly known by its nickname "Warthog" or simply "Hog".

As a secondary mission, it provides airborne forward air control, guiding other aircraft against ground targets. A-10s used primarily in this role are designated OA-10

Firefox and IE : Wallpaper Stretching.

Firefox and IE : Wallpaper Stretching.

All these widescreen wallpapers are set for 16:10 and 16:9 Ratio monitors with resolutions of 1920 x 1200, 1920 x 1080, 1680x1050 1440x900 and 1280x800.

All Desktop Images / Photos are rendered by your browser and although Firefox is fantastic, it actually does not do a great job of saving desktop wallpaper, so...

Windows / PC : save the photo to your dekstop then set as wallpaper from there.

MAC OS : Unplug the MAC and put it into a box. Take the box to the nearest Garden centre and give it to the sales assistant. They will take out the MAC's hardware and use the rest as a decorative plant pot. Then you should by a PC.

Strangely enough, Internet Explorer renders the wallpaper beautifully in 'stretch' so I reccommend saving images using IE. :-)

Enjoy!
