COAST GUARD A-10 T-Shirt

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft developed by Fairchild Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF) in service since 1977. While the real-world Coast Guard doesn't fly Warthogs, fans of the idea point out some fun "what-if" benefits: Emergency Response: The A-10 can fly low and slow, potentially dropping emergency items like food, water, or self-inflating life rafts to people in distress. Speed and Loiter Time: Compared to helicopters, an A-10 is much faster and can loiter for long periods while watching the ocean. Maritime Patrol: The idea of using heavy aircraft to hunt fast-moving "go-fast" boats is a real tactic used by the military.
