These are A-10 tank killers. They're mostly retired now. Often referred to as a cannon with wings, they usually have a massive 30 mm gatlin gun mounted on the nose. When it fired the recoil would actually slow the plane down.

Wow, terrifying. I guess like with all these planes, the weapons are removed.
