I hope you enjoyed the A-10 Warthog! What video should I do next? 👇🏼

Normal pilots:my plane has a gun
A-10 pilots: oh cool! My gun has a plane

Friendlies when A-10 flies over: HOLY SH-

Enemies when A-10 flies over: HOLY SH-

I love how the pilot is so proud hes flying the coolest plane ever.

[DCYote]

As an Army guy, we loved the A10. Absolutely the best CAS platform around. Any Hog driver will drink for free if we're ever in the same bar.

[Chris-shik]

As an Apache pilot, I drool when I see A10s. Respect to those guys, only 1 pilot handling all of that workload is impressive!

[PandaDingle]

As a A-10 Crew chief working on them for 4 years now, you did the A-10 justice. thank you🤘

[realspacenerd]

A-10 has been like an angel for pinned down soldiers for a long time now!

My Dad was the crew chief on A-10 78-0593, “The fortune teller” - it flew the most sorties of any A-10 during the gulf war / desert storm. It was a testament to how well him and his crew maintained the plane. I spent two years looking for the plane, it was at moody last and then was a weapons barn load trainer (said the historian of the flying tigers). Word is it might have been dismantled. If anyone knows anything, let me know! Awesome video Sam!

These are surpisingly agile actually. I was at an air show 5 years ago or so and they had a demo with A10s, and they demonstrated how they could strafe the field, pull up, hard bank turn and be right back down strafing the opposite direction in something like 20 seconds or maybe slightly more (it's been a few years) but it was damn impressive to watch--no live ammo at the air show, just the demo of it flying that pattern. They truly are awesome to be 50 years old and still that relevant to modern warfare.

A-10 : "F around...& FIND THE OUT"

[sovietdraken]

The A-10 is an absolute unit. I had the honor of “petting” an A-10 about a year ago, and it was truly an awesome experience!

I had the privilege to interview for a pilot seat with the 76th FS A-10 squadron at Moody AFB in 2014. I had been approved for pilot seat by the AFRC selection board, and still needed a sponsoring squadron. We spent the weekend with the squadron hanging out, logging flight time in the A-10 sim (THE COOLEST ENTRY IN MY FLIGHT LOG), dawning a G-suit, and touring the maintenance hangar and flight line. Great experience! 14 of us were selected for an interview to compete for 1 seat. Huge to make it that far. Sadly I wasn't selected, but did get picked up by the 63rd ARS at MacDill AFB later that year. In the end, it didn't matter, lost my AF wings over a kidney and wright-pat pulled my FC1 =( Heartbreaking but God had other plans. My 3 Favorite AF aircraft F-22, A-10 Thunderbolt II, and C-130J/AC variant as well ;)

honestly amazes me how young these guys are who fly these incredible jets. I've always imagined pilots as being dudes in their late 40s and 50s to be responsible enough to manage something like this. Inspiring.

[itsdokko]

Everyone talks about the iconic which is true, but the turbine sound is quite unique also, no other aircraft i can think of has that distinctive high pitch

[luciusbouchard]

Unnecessary music... the A-10 is a symphony in itself !

[joecang]

Great video! Helped build the A10 at Fairchild Republic. Worked on the landing gear pods, wind shield cowling and milled the titanium "bathtub. Always been very proud to have worked on such a great barn-storming aircraft.

[ps-icpm]

As a kid in the 70s, we lived near the A-10 factory in Hagerstown, MD. A pair would roll off the line in chromate green primer and fly over our house.

As an ex hydraulic specialist I can honestly say that it was an absolute pleasure to work on the A-10. It didn't break down very often and when it did it was usually fixable easily and quickly. I still take great pride in seeing the A-10, even to the point where I consider it to be "my baby". Cheers and hats-off to others who have had the privilege to work on (or fly) the A-10 aircraft. Myrtle Beach AFB (1977-81).
