Boeing Makes A Ton of Money!

Boeing is a very busy aircraft manufacturing company.

The numbers will blow you away! I can tell you this, Boeing is a company to be reckoned with.

Officially the airplane was designed for close air support. Meaning, it will attack and totally destroy tanks, heavily armored vehicles and buildings. The A-10 Warthog started rolling out in 1977 as an attempt to be used towards thwarting the increased number of ground attacks on airplanes during the Vietnam War.
