Its human nature. Completely natural for the male of the species to want to fly real low, real fast, and blow the s#!t out of everything. Especialy those whoi deserve it.

As fate would have it though I only get to fly real low, go kinda fast, and bomb stuff till' it quits burning, but such is life.

Whats really scary is the continued pussification of the American male, the likes of wich would bitch and wine about some Hog footage, that whats really scary.

Its called the real world LADIES!!!

Amen. There's plenty of images of kittens and bunny rabbits and Enya music out there for you soft hearted types. Don't like it, don't watch. I didn't care for the tunes that video was set to but I sure did like the footage. And I've seen A-10's at work for real.

Oh and Amen to all of this, too. :D
 
What I meant was, that it the real world bad stuff happens , and people have to travel to the far reaches of this peaceful and kind planet and make badder stuff happen to the origional perpetrator of the bad stuff so he doesnt do it again.

This is the way it has always been and the way it will always be, no matter how enlightened we think we are.

But very necesary so guys like you can make sissy boy comments on the computer.

I say we might as well get a little enjoyment out of it if we can.

Interesting reading on the gun...As to a speed reduction, yes it does occur and it is noticable, and true the gun is USUALLY fired in short bursts, a longer 5-8 second burst will slow the plane at full throttle by almost 15knots..Had a friend who was a 'Hog Pilot' and he loved it when gunnery came up..He said when the gun fires it feels like your sitting on the worlds largest vibrator:laugh:

AWESOME. Hawgs rule.

As for recoil, here you go. 10,000 lbs of recoil force. This also has some interesting information on it. Scroll down to "recoil vs. forward thrust myth." I guess it measurably slows the jet down, but the engines are making nearly twice the thrust, and the gun is only fired in very short bursts.
 
Alright guys...I don't want to be killin' no-one, but i sure would love to get in one of those and take 'er for a spin around the patch. What an amazin' bird, and if there just happened to be a target range close by, well then squeezin' off a few rounds at some targets would be pretty cool as well.
 
Those cluster bombs rock. Too bad they didn't build an A-10 with burners.
 
"This society has not seen war with it's own eyes..."

A very true statement, but with all the goings on around the world, and with us sending our military to every far reaching corner of the world and stretching everything so thin here at home, believe me, it's comin', and I'm afraid that the results arent going to be anything to sensationalize in a video with a thumpin soundtrack.
