I was a forward air controller mid 80s. I use to give them my position as a target on the range and they would "attack" my position. Of the pair that came in, one was an experienced major, and one was a new pilot who never went below 500ft. The major however... came in from his IP (starting point) and went directly out of site.. because he was flying 20 ft off the ground below the trees on the range road... once he got east of my position he popped up, flipped upside down, point his nose at me, and flipped upright saying "guns guns guns" on the radio as he came in on me from out of the sun... once he flew past, he dove back down and flew away down the range road again out of site. All this happened in 10 seconds. Dude was a bad man.

When the US Air Force finally gets their wish to retire this aircraft, it will go down as the most legendary air to ground platform ever imagined.

The A-10, the only aircraft that brings both air support and emotional support to our troops

[owenflude]

The A-10 in actuality is a great stealth aircraft; nobody will notice, *if there is nobody TO notice*

[corden]

This airplane has saved my life more than once. This is like the sound of angels to me.

My brother was in afghanistan an he said he lost count how many times the A10 saved his life! Thank you for bringing my brother home

My son was a Marine with 2/8 in Fallujah and in Ramadhi. He said the most comforting thing was to be in close combat and the Lt. to announce the A-10's were inbound. I can not have much more appreciation than to say, "Thank you. You helped bring my son home alive."

[Thtboy]

This is the most adrenaline pumping-American thing I have ever seen ⚡️🇺🇸 🤘

[BigHueJanus]

I remember someone say “If you heard the you were not the target.”

[orangewingnut]

I like to think of the A-10 as the Colt 1911 equivalent of jets in its reliability and appreciation from the troops. "The aircraft that forgot to retire"

[legionarulsquad]

This platform saved my life. Period. Respect from Romania.

[Maelstrom]

A pilot in one of these beauties saved my life in Kuwait. Already a fan, but now a worshipper

[wildbill]

They should never retire this beast!!!

[gmoney]

I always hear "it won't win any beauty contests" I think this is one the most beautiful planes ever.

Years ago, we live in a very remote area on 360 acres, A10’s would do low overhead passes over our ranch, we stretched a huge American flag, ”not touching the ground”, where they could see it, they really put a show on for us, gave me goosebumps and a lump in my throat, but mainly it made me proud of our country and our military men and women🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

Can’t help but smile big watching clips like these. My dad flew the Hog for over 2 decades and 2 wars. He’s retired now but when other guys when we’re out someone find out he was a Hog pilot they always offer to buy him a round lol. All the ground troops always say how much they loved hearing these suckers coming into the fight n how the enemy would always shit a brick.
In his home office he’s got one of the barrels for the Gau-8 avenger mounted up on his wall. Had to do some major wall structural reinforcement to hold it up there. Had the whole barrel custom chromed plated. Hell of a conversation piece.
Always proud of my dad. #ProudAmerican

The A-10 was born to be a rock star. A killer rock star...

[norsepatriot]

A-10 Warthog! My favorite flying gatling gun! 😎👍🇺🇸

[paulmorris]

I NEVER got tired of saying, “Cleared Hot”. Hearing that and watching something/one “go away” always made me smile! When a flight of A-10’s check on, you automatically knew the day was going to get better.
