One of my buddies in the Army told me a story of them getting ambushed once in Afghanistan. They called in for air support and got an A10, he said they could hear it firing, did a couple passes, then the ambush was just over. Silence.

@davemccombs Ай бұрын

It's odd hearing these stories, because sentiment toward the A-10 on the ground usually doesn't seem to fit this bill when the numbers are actually analyzed. Sure, the A-10 has a fun weapon, but it's horribly inaccurate and has caused more friendly fire casualties than virtually any other weapon platform not called a "suicide vest." I've heard from commanders that they would outright turn down CAS if an A-10 was all that was available for fear of losing as many of their own men as the enemy. Don't get me wrong. I love the A-10 as an aviation fan and have touched a few of them back in the 90's (where they damn near let you fly the damn things for $5, pre-911 lol), but from what I gather it hasn't been the "right" tool for any given CAS mission for at least 30 years.

@macieksoft 23 күн бұрын

My Dad was the crew chief on A-10 78-0593, “The fortune teller” - it flew the most sorties of any A-10 during the gulf war / desert storm. It was a testament to how well him and his crew maintained the plane. I spent two years looking for the plane, it was at moody last and then was a weapons barn load trainer (said the historian of the flying tigers). Word is it might have been dismantled. If anyone knows anything, let me know! Awesome video Sam!

I say a clip in a congress meeting where some guy was trying to retire the A.10s and said they was outdated. A navy guy with stripes on his shoulder ripped the guy apart with facts. He told the guy how special these aircrafts are ,and how effective they are for CAS. He said for troops in contact there was no other aircraft that the soldiers were happier to see and hear was the worthog. Armer piercing rounds,exploding rounds,loads of missles and can fly really low. And they are armoured . The guy soon regretted opening his mouth. The A.10s can be updated and should be kept for C.A.S. . It would save so many soldiers lifes.🙏

These are surpisingly agile actually. I was at an air show 5 years ago or so and they had a demo with A10s, and they demonstrated how they could strafe the field, pull up, hard bank turn and be right back down strafing the opposite direction in something like 20 seconds or maybe slightly more (it's been a few years) but it was damn impressive to watch--no live ammo at the air show, just the demo of it flying that pattern. They truly are awesome to be 50 years old and still that relevant to modern warfare.

We have one of these in our museum in Sacramento, complete with desert storm paint, kill markings and yes, bullet holes. Talking to a guy who flew one, he made a rather iconic statement. "If you hear the gun, you're already dead". A few more interesting bits of information, the aircraft was designed around the gun and engines can be mounted on either side to lessen the need for left or right specific parts. This is also the same engine used on the S2 Viking.

The A-10 has the most freindly kills of any recent plane, because of the inaccuracies of the main gun. During the Iraq war, British crews declined having A-10s support them because of the chance of their team getting killed. While the F-35 can accurately launch a missile at a single person from over 10 miles away.

His family later was interned and after the war he was released. He moved with his family to California. In the early 60's he put himself through college and became and engineer. Then he went to work for a company called Fairchild. There he went on to design the titanium bathtub for the A10. RIP Stan. You were a great guy.

Uh Sam.. the GUA8 wasn't strapped onto the plane... the plane was strapped onto it. It literally was built around that cannon. Something else no one said was that the A10 is one of the first planes to not drop it's spent casings when firing, it actually moves them back into the ammo hopper to conserve the ballast during flight and also it saves money as they can be reloaded. It also keeps them from ending up going through the engines. The engines were also moved to the topside of the plane to make it harder for ground launch IR seeking missiles to target it.
