The A-10 warthog is one bad ass jet. When I ran the aircraft assembly division at Loos and Co. My crew made the flight control cables that ran the shives for the rudders. The aircraft is controlled by a double hydraulic system but if they are made inoperable, the cable takes over. I was watching the Military channel one night and saw a story about an aircraft that took fire and had one wing blown off. He lost all hydraulics and used my crews cables to safely land the aircraft. It's ugly but it worked. Book mark this link and check it out when you have time. Very interesting stuff.
