Warthog[edit]

I'm pretty sure that the 'hawg' part of hawgsmoke is a reference to the A-10's nickname 'warthog. But that's original research, so i don't put it in the article. Anybody got a source? (Or an explanaition why i'm wrong?)--ospalh (talk) 20:20, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've not found anything official, but the A-10 Thunderbolt II lists Hog as a nickname in the header and if you do a google seach for 'A-10 Hawg' you can get results for the A-10, including A-10 Hawg Central and Hawg Wild.--Ndunruh (talk) 00:25, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
