Yes.

Reminds me of this. Capt. Kim Campbell, April 7, 2003. Shot to hell on a ground support mission in Iraq. Lost computerized control of guidance/steering, which left the aircraft heading towards Baghdad. But the A-10 evidently has a secondary manual system of levers and pulleys a pilot can use. She did--turned the plane around and landed safely on base.
