[QUOTE="JTComfort, post: 2148093, member: 103514"] Now you sent me searching... A few years ago, a docent at the National Air/Space Udvar-Hazy Center associated the phrase w/ the P47 Thunderbolt, claiming that it carried 9 yards of ammunition in each wing feeding the Jug's carried 8 .50s. According the Wikipedia, the phrase was most widely used in the 80s and 90s, which puts it in the timeframe for the Warthogs. However, the first idiomatic use of the phrase was in 1907 relative to a football game in Southern Indiana - predating the Warthog and the Thunderbolt by a couple of years. ;-) [/QUOTE]
