    Such an incredible aircraft and engineering marvel. For the role it plays, it’s tough to beat the pure fear inducing capability and raw destruction. Can’t believe the Air Force wanted to get rid of it.

    This has been my favorite plane for practically my whole life and I'm approaching 50! My dad spent 24 years in the AF/ANG and I would stop everything and watch, touch whatever I could any A-10 I ever came across. Great tour around an amazing machine. Thanks Aldo and Steveo!

    Loved watching this plane take off from Myrtle Beach air force base when I was a kid. My dad (Col Dana Cromack) was the base commander then wing commander in the late 70's overseeing the first deployment of the A10. A huge advancement over the A7.

      Keith, I grew up in Conway out behind Lake Busbee and would sit outside for hours watching the 354th fly over all day in the late 70's and early 80's. I tell people that A-10's were my alarm clock as a kid.

    As a Government Contractor imbedded with SOCOM in Shindand Afghanistan, The A-10 is a Beast! We had a bombing range in the AO and I would hear them coming in the middle of the night and wake up ready to go, but after a while, one learns the sound and the Burps of the gun in full effect!! Amazing Machine!

  • @danphillips3125

    I worked on building the first simulators for the A-10. They weren't motion based but rather had seat cushions that would inflate/deflate and harnesses that would tighten to simulate G loading. One audible trait that the seat cushions had was what we called the "whoopie cushion" effect because that's what they sounded like when they worked.

    I remember a couple different Red Flag's I did at Nellis AFB pulling Dragons full of 30mm out to the flight line for A-10's while hung over. I loved it when they'd leave the main battery disconnect enabled so I could fire up the Oxygen. Suck on that hose and clear your head real damn fast. That climb up to the cockpit is hell in the we hours of the morning to get an O2 fix on an A-10 though. Had a crew chief show me that trick on an F-4G many years prior to that. Funny related story, I fell asleep sitting in the cockpit of an F-16 at Mtn Home AFB waiting for the weapons loaders to show up. Crew chief was a friend of mine and showed up on the flight line early. He was like "dood really? I just topped off the LOX bottles man. Give me the hose." he was hung over too LOL!!

    Steveo, I'm not sure if you've ever tried DCS World, but if you love the A-10C, you will LOVE flying this thing, especially in VR. I'm currently using the Varjo Aero. Thrustmaster HOTAS, Rudder pedals and a few other peripherals that complete my home pit. What a blast! VR is the way to go. This is as close as we civilians can get to experiencing what it's like. Real world GA private pilot who's childhood dream was to become a fighter pilot. Love the video and talk you had with Aldo.

    • @redtailpilot

      I just did aerial refueling with the KC-135 in VR. Popping in and out of clouds, while the tanker was in a right bank turn in his racetrack pattern. After successfully topping off, I sent my wingman to the tanker via voice command (no keyboard or mouse juggling). I step to the starboard observation position and watch him close in and make contact, refueling. What a freakin blast in VR! This is incredibly rewarding to be able to experience in a home PC sim. WOW! 🙂

    Watched an A-10 at a small airshow 20(?) years ago. Sorry the show is gone, full ramp access except during active air ops. Good old days. What got me was the square turns, hard to believe so tight for such a heavy beast. There is an intangible psychological factor for an enemy, looking at it, the name Warthog is about right.
