Awesome A-10 Pilot Video During Airshow - Great Views

[johnsonrod]

Not sure if others have seen this video - I just found it.

Always wanted to fly the Warthog - flying it during an airshow would be even better:

Check out the great 360 degree turn at about 4:10.

Any former/current A-10 pilots out there? Was it as fun to fly as it looks? How would you compare flying the A-10 to other fighters you have flown (if you were that lucky)? I can only imagine how it would be to fly that in support of the troops on the front line at low level...

Never forget the first live fire JAAT I flew with A-10s. Called the IP, we masked, they flew over and fired while just past our position.

I could hear the gun; SPH-4, hovering Cobra noises and all. I swear I could feel vibrations from the thing.

And to see a tank turrent launched into the air from the 30's impact. Inspiring for sure.

"F**k, fight, or go for your gun." Nothing says, "I'm here on business" like 3,500 grains of depleted uranium.

Looks like the video has been removed.

Took awhile to watch. Pretty cool. Was much better using 3X fast forward. (TIC)
