Very nice.

They need to take it away from the USAF and give it to the Army. The Army appreciates it. USAF hates it.

I used to have an A10 pc video game. It had some testimonials from pilots. The one I remember was the one that said the tracers made it look like you were firing a laser.

There were some A 10s based at Grissom ARB, which is about a hour north of me. Apparently the A10 pilots liked the terrain around my brother’s farm; he could hear them buzz around, then the next thing he knew a pair would hop the tree line, make a “run” at an outbuilding or tractor in the field, and then disappear as fast as they came. He never knew which way they would come from.

I first saw the A-10 doing a CAS demo at an air show over 30 years ago. Holy cow, what an impression that made. It looked like it had hovering capability and moved like a dancing spider. I’ve still never seen a video that can match what I saw.

The A-10 doesn’t make cronies rich, but it is a really cost effective weapon.

Give the A-10s to the U S Army. Let them fly it.

This platform needs to live on until a suitable, true CAS platform can replace it.

The A-10 is officially the Thunderbolt II. Warthog is an unofficial nickname.

Can somebody, or several somebodies send this video to Trump and Cruz headquarters, please? The bean counters cannot be allowed to screw over the grunts on the ground.
