Alaska is a military state. The Air Force Base here had the A-10 Thunderbolt, the Warthog. It is an amazing craft. It is not pretty but says power in every way. They have a cannon on them that fires up to 4,200 round per minute. It carries a variety of bombs, air to surface missiles, and air to air missiles. It is heavily armored and has an 800 mile range. It flies around 700mph and looks like it is barely moving.
The jets are so powerful it can go from flying flat to turning on to its side with the wings completely perpendicular to the ground and just carry on looking like it should just fall out of the sky. Awesome. I feel like Alaska is much safer with a bunch of those around.
