I have a 30 minute tape of two A-10s maneuvering near Eglin AFB. This was with an old VHS-c compact video camera.
They were fascinating to watch. The closest thing to compare to them is a WACO stunt plane or maybe a crop duster.
I know they have a lot of armor protecting the pilot and engines etc. but they also look like they would be really vulnerable to hand held antiaircraft missiles.
I used to watch them operating at edwards. Awesome to watch. I worked on the B1-B project. I have no clue why they would consider it a replacement to the A-10. It can go really fast right on the deck...
I saw a flight demo with maneuvers like that in person at Godman Army Airfield at Fort Knox c. 1978. The Air Force was giving a day-long briefing to the Armor School Armor Officer Basic students on the A-10 that included the flight demo. There were also some great films of A-10s tearing up some old M-48s in the desert.
My dad used to play racquetball with the Air Force liaison officer at Knox, which is how I got to attend.
