Absolutely, it does well deserve its nickname "Warthog". And yes, it's amazing
to read about all the designers thought of.
Only semi-retractable main landing gear? Duh! I thought that was obsolete since

profile, you gotta think of how to land if (or rather, when) the gear is jammed
in the "up" position...
