Thank god they never retired this beautiful barrel of pork. Turns out being a low, slow, flying tank is a really shit decision when everything from drones to a boxtruck has a MANPAD in the cupholder. But they were all supposed to be blown up within 72 hours of facing a peer adversary, 40 years ago, so really i guess its mission accomplished.
