Interesting to see this. I few at Edwards during the mid 70s when the F-15 and the A-10 were there. Every now and then when we had a requirement to fill that didn’t take long, we’d plan a join up and formate/etc with anyone who was also flying from Test Ops that day. I took an F-15 - following an FCF and joined up with the then new A-10 for a bit of twisting around.

Boy, was this writer correct. That thing can turn on a dime and one really would not want to face that gun should its pilot be ticked off. It was fun, however, and demonstrated exactly the point that this writer was making.

Oh for those days again.

Doesn’t the A-10 run a Gau?
