I'm in much the same situation as Aztek... Not deploying A-10s (I wish!) but making bloody video games! I never thought I'd get to dislike something I once loved and would've done for free... anyway...
I'm planning on getting back soon tho' so hopefully I wont get distracted too much in texturing my valk.
BTW Az... I'd say 'non military types' wouldn't even know what an A-10 is It seems though that Macross fans seem to have an interest in military aviation... dunno why...
