My best A10 memory comes from Afghanistan; we were taking a beating and casualties. Two A10s entered the space and rained hell down on insurgents in a danger close situation. After the dust cleared there were no more sounds or signs of combatants. I remember looking up and literally making eye contact with the A10 pilot and I gave him a quick salute and he returned the salute. The A10 pilots are truly guardian angels of grunts.

A-10's are formidable, scary sonsabitches. They are also graceful. I was a kid growing up outside Davis-Monthan AFB when they first rolled out. The pilots seemed to always have the same routine. Fly up, execute a few dozen maneuvers by the book, then cut loose and see what their birds could do. They could do anything. Every weekend for what seems like years I would lay on the grass in Freedom Park and watch them for hours. My family had no money, but I wouldn't exchange those days for anything.

Can you see them fire live? The A10 is literally my favorite plane! It's an underdog that almost got cancelled three times I think 🤔. It's gun is what the plane is pretty much built around. It's ability to keep flying after heavy damage, because of its back up systems. The engines up top allow it to take off on broken runways, so they don't suck in debris. It's maneuverability, because it's not a very fast plane. The A-10 puts it the fuck down though for the ground troops!

I’m an Air Force weatherman. So my hardest job is giving bad weather to ANY PILOT. My best deployment ever was working with an A-10 squadron. Typically I work with Army as a SWO (and yes I understand I am a POG as well) but having a chance to work with the A-10 was amazing. These pilots really care. Typically I would be a guy on the ground with my Army brothers… but now seeing both sides of the coin; makes everything clearer. The A-10 squadron would bring in CCTs or JTACs and Army to watch the gun run videos of missions they were on the night before. The pilots would just show them the videos and then immediately ask how they could help more. These pilots are really grunts in the sky.

A-10 is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and intimidating modern aircraft. Its reputation far exceeds its capabilities and has survived both battle damage and internal struggles. But like all legends, there will be a last day for the A-10. Technology can only go so far and that goes for the Warthog. With newer tech becoming more available and cheaper, as well as more menacing enemy defenses, this old bird will eventually have to give way to the next generation. How well will it be succeeded is yet to be known, but the legacy of this plane has earned a permanent spot in everyone's memory that grew up From 1980-2030 and beyond. Salute to the brave pilots and an incredible work of engineering.

I remember 1972-73 when I repaired the avionics on the A-37B, the predecessor to the A-10) flying support training for the Army at Ft. Polk and once in a while a neighboring farmer's cow broke down a fence and wandered into the training area and found out the ground pounders had really fresh beef that night on their manouvers. Could hear the conversations between the Army ground troops and the A-37B pilot while repairing a radio system that was used in the A-37Bs but could not determine who actually shot the cow but I had my suspicions when I heard the Gatling gun fire before hearing about the killed cow.

(VMFA-333 peacetime between wars) On the first cruise of the Nimitz we were towing a pontoon sled 1/4 mile behind us going acoss the Atlantic. Our pilots sunk it twice with 25 lb smoke bombs. The A7's and A6's never got closer than 20 ft. This was all pilot......as anyone knows, the Phantom was a brick. That A-10 is a sweet bird 👌

Active Duty here, as what was touched on in the video, so much of what we do is deterrence. If our guys see something and get excited, equally our enemies see it and go 'oh shit'. That stops a lot of bad shit from happening.

Not sure about sound at the 10:00 min point, it was night and the soldiers may have just been quiet. Sound travels quite far at night, especially since there is little background noise.

Much respect from an Afghan vet. Had fewer worries with the warthog covering us.

Hello, another great video. Timing is good, in that I’m still cleaning up damage from a small tornado that hit southern Indiana yesterday. In addition to the 90mph (144 mph) straight line winds.

The thing about the A10 it's very presence scares the piss out of people. Just listen to the cannon echo through the air. That's a weapon of pure terror and woe betide anyone on the receiving end of it.

I was infantry in the army, warthog hog pilots are one of the few MOS's we're happy to buy a drink for at the club.

That pilot talking about being in high school in 1979, I was at Tucson, AZ working on the A-10 at the time.

I was a crew chief on A-10's before some of the current pilots were even born. A-10's are low tech, in close, knife fighters that are showing their age. The one I worked on was brand new, straight from the factory, but it ate some debris on takeoff when it was only about 3 yrs. old. Pilot ejected and it ran off the runway into some trees.

It wouldn't be inaccurate to leave the 'T' out of it. War Hog says it true. Also, it is an angel: Guardian type for allies, Death type for everyone else.

As a grunt that has seen these amazing machines and even more amazing men and women that piloting them firsthand. I can not put into words how much we appreciate and love and respect the A-10 and the crazy mfers that fly her! When you are pinned down and literally fighting for your life, that bbbbrrrrttt is the most amazing sound you will ever hear!

The A-10 is the Guardian Angel for ground troops. It still blows my mind the there were people that wanted to decommission this air-frame.

That "BRRRRRRRRp" is that 20mm Vulcan gun in the nose firing on target. Ask any Soldier or Marine...thats their favorite sound.

If you've ever heard the sound of that weapon it's not something you'll ever forget. It's the sound of your life being saved.

@Gwydion_Wolf Жыл бұрын

If you ever hear the joke "if the A-10 shoots for to long, it'll stall out mid-flight" .... That, as much as it is a joke... is 1/2 right. The Gun in the nose has the same 'recoil force' as the thrust generated by 1 of those engines on the back of the plane. The A-10 is the one aricraft i had wanted to fly if i had ever gotten into the Military (sadly was never able to due to medical issues as a teenager :( ) Though, i get to fly one every weekend via DCS (combat flight simulator).

The cannon is so quick you hear the bullets hitting the ground before you hear the gun fire so if you hear the gun fire you’re on the right side 🤣

“If you hear the brrrrrrrrrrt, you weren’t the target.” My buddy (a Marine), when he got back from Afghanistan, was the first person to ever tell me about this war plane. He was also the first person I ever heard that quote from. When you see comments on here about the relief and sheer joy that sound brought to our guys on the ground, there is no way to overstate that. Those planes and the pilots in those cockpits saved countless lives, and perhaps just as importantly, gave an immediate morale boost to troops who were in danger of being overwhelmed. That right there can change the tone of an armed conflict in a matter of minutes.

Remember seeing them on the range at RAF Holbeach on the Wash, doing ground target practice attacks. That was around 1977 or '78 whilst we were blowing up some life expired explosives. Really impressive. The only time I've seen similar, was when our RAF Phantoms did some similar attacks on floating targets on the Mediteranean. Both sound like "farts", it's just that the tone of ours was higher as ours was 20mm ammunition rather than the A10's 30mm.
