I hope you enjoyed the A-10 Warthog! What video should I do next? 👇🏼
Maybe if you can or haven’t did it, the SR-71?
B-2 or a b-52
You should cover why the U.S military is thinking of retiring the A-10
You should do a Video about C-17 or the Pavehawks
F-16 or F-15 you haven’t done many jet videos
Normal pilots:my plane has a gun
A-10 pilots: oh cool! My gun has a plane
Isn't a video about the A-10 without a dozen people using this meme...
Overused
69420th person to say this, please no more!
Werent the gun designed before the plane?
It was funny when he said that in the video.
I love how the pilot is so proud hes flying the coolest plane ever.
It's a terrible aircraft by todays standards, just fyi :P
@@cromwellthesynthIt left one heck of a legacy though
@@justalpha9138 yeah I'll admit that. But doesn't change how awful it is haha
@@cromwellthesynth what makes you think its awful? this thing can level a whole town in one sortie lol
@@cromwellthesynththe f14 is old it’s not a terrible aircraft though
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.
My father fought in Iraq and he was a medic in the army, he loves the A-10, I can tell why. 😅
One of my buddies in the Army told me a story of them getting ambushed once in Afghanistan. They called in for air support and got an A10, he said they could hear it firing, did a couple passes, then the ambush was just over. Silence.
It's odd hearing these stories, because sentiment toward the A-10 on the ground usually doesn't seem to fit this bill when the numbers are actually analyzed. Sure, the A-10 has a fun weapon, but it's horribly inaccurate and has caused more friendly fire casualties than virtually any other weapon platform not called a "suicide vest."
I've heard from commanders that they would outright turn down CAS if an A-10 was all that was available for fear of losing as many of their own men as the enemy.
Don't get me wrong. I love the A-10 as an aviation fan and have touched a few of them back in the 90's (where they damn near let you fly the damn things for $5, pre-911 lol), but from what I gather it hasn't been the "right" tool for any given CAS mission for at least 30 years.
@@davemccombs It is actually very accurate as for a gun. It is just the fact that attacking from the air in "danger close" situation is always dangerous. It is even more dangerous if you use bombs or unguided rockets.
@@macieksoftno that’s not the truth lol, the A-10 has no optic systems what so ever and pilots have to look outside of the cockpit too see what they are shooting at with binoculars
A-10 has been like an angel for pinned down soldiers for a long time now!
me to
Been sending our soliders to God for a long time, too.
sad its gonna be retired
And the devil for British IFVs
yeah, an angel of friendly fire that is
This is gonna be one hell of a show
Yes, it is
Yes, yes it is.
yes indeed
Indeed
Yes
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
You forgot "t" at the end
TTTTTTTTTT
@@devilseye361 yeah, oops!
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT
“BRRRRRRRRRR” -🥶❄️
Just clicked the video to see this comment.
Satisfied ✅
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!
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.
The flying tank is back.
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.
Thank you Sam for always giving your viewers top tier content! From camera shots, to cool music, to quality content, you can do it all! I love that you bring real people into your videos, showing the true manpower behind every mission. Keep it up!
Means a lot!
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!
FINALLY GETTING THE BIG BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT 🔥🔥
Everyone talks about the iconic BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT, which is true, but the turbine sound is quite unique also, no other aircraft i can think of has that distinctive high pitch
I think the only other similar sound is from the KC-135 and/or E-3, idk which engine it is cause they only shared one of two engine types
S-3 Viking, long since retired, had the same engines and same sound.
1500 rounds of pure freedom 🇺🇸🦅
Pure democracy.😂

As an Apache pilot, I drool when I see A10s. Respect to those guys, only 1 pilot handling all of that workload is impressive!
respect to your respect! I wia=sh I cold fly your Apache!
I love that the hoist for the ammo says "hook me up"
so awesome to see a video on the a10! so glad i could experience an a10 demonstration flight at the great texas airshow, such an awesome and iconic aircraft for sure
“12 seconds of freedom” bro knows what he’s saying
bro has some of the most beautiful most epic shots of aircraft on the platform so cool
Great episode Sam. Thank you!
The A-10 is onee of my all time favourites and one of the coolest Aircraft flying today. Thanks for taking us along Sam 🤙
Been waiting for this video ever since I found your channel, lol. So epic! The A-10 is probably my favorite non-fighter jet aircraft in the military.
Tax dollars have never looked so good
Free healthcare will forever be a pipe dream.
We have one of these in our museum in Sacramento, complete with desert storm paint, kill markings and yes, bullet holes. Talking to a guy who flew one, he made a rather iconic statement. "If you hear the gun, you're already dead". A few more interesting bits of information, the aircraft was designed around the gun and engines can be mounted on either side to lessen the need for left or right specific parts. This is also the same engine used on the S2 Viking.
If you hear the gun, you weren't the target.
yea that's the version i heard before too😂@@JC130676
@@JC130676 THAT ONE TOO!!!!👍
@@phantomf4747it sounds amazing in person in combat. It saved our asses in Afghanistan all the time! 🇺🇸
@@101stairborne6 The closest I get to that is last year's A10 Demo at the California Captial Airshow. Filled with blanks, but that sound is soul altering. Patrol safe bro. This is a crazy world right now. Watch your 6.
I'm jealous of this man being able to see and experience all these different aircraft, vehicles and defense systems.
Amazing video! Always incredible to see the A-10. Thats such a good demonstration and hell of a content! Awesome.
This video and the warthog are absolute beasts
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).
Thank you for another amazing post. Very informative and engaging. Be well Sam.
i love the kind of questions you asked and i liked the way he answered them
Dude! Your videos are so good!!! I look forward to every new video you post!!
Thank you :)
BBRRRT! Another great video Sam! Always been a favorite of mine, such a beast! Thanks for the great content!!
Mine too!
So glad you did this one thank you.
A-10 : "F around...& FIND THE BRRRRRRTTTTTTT OUT"
Both my brothers were Sgts in the United States Air Force. My older brother in Germany with the Wart Hog. 🇺🇸
The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, commonly known as the “Warthog” or simply the “Hog”, is a remarkable close air support (CAS) attack aircraft developed by Fairchild Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF) and has been in service since 1976.Even in 2024,it still rocks.BRRRRRRT
1980s south east England ... they were painted black
When I saw your Title "Experience the Jaw-Dropping FIREPOWER of the A-10 Warthog" I was thinking "Your going to Get Shot by the A-10!??" XD
Warthog go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT
Thanks a lot for making a video about one of the best planes ever ❤
This plane is the most robust, practical, and intimidating plane ever made. I love the back up controls, high mounted engine, titanium tub, etc. Just a tool well designed for its purpose.
Hell yeaaah! Just started at the danish air cadets today convenient
The A-10 Is my second favorite aircraft, this’ll be one helluva show
Easily one of my favorite planes ever am lucky enough to be near Selfridge Air Base and these beautiful hogs are stationed there get to see them every day truly is a treat.
One of my favorite military planes of all-time! Nice work.
Colonel Kim Campbell and her experience taking massive damage to her A-10 and having to land with zero hydraulic assistance is my favorite story about the aircraft.
I'm going to love this I have been asking for the iconic a10 warthog
Another phenomenal video Sam, thanks.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrt......Thanks for the Video, dude i love these beast and seeing some of them flying low over ground at the Air defender exercise in the wild nature was one of the coolest things i`ve ever seen. Brrrrrrrt.....Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt the sound of freedome
the manual reversion flight control system is so epic i feel like this should be more common or atleast something more for hydraulic problems.
The problem with a lot of modern fighters is the computer is actually flying the plane due to how inherently unstable their designs as for maneuverability. You couldn't really directly hand fly one in any meaningful way.
@@fraserbritton1288 this is true thats why i said atleast something more for hydraulic problems meaning anything that could help it be more redundant maybe some of the cargo planes can have this if they dont already i think some do or just still have it think kc135 still all pullies idk for sure
YEESSSIIRRR 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great quality video.
The A-20 is a force of nature to reckon with.
i love the production of your video man! Awesome video💪🏽
Brrt ❤
The A-10 is one of the most cool aircrafts ever made. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrp!!!
I was an F-16 maintainer/specialist, but the A-10 was always my favorite aircraft!
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.
Quick story, I had the pleasure of working in Boeing flight test with a dude named Stan Onami. Stan was a Japanese American that grew up in Hawaii and was a little kid at Pearl Harbor. His family later was interned and after the war he was released. He moved with his family to California. In the early 60's he put himself through college and became and engineer. Then he went to work for a company called Fairchild. There he went on to design the titanium bathtub for the A10. RIP Stan. You were a great guy.
Can’t wait to see this one, the A-10 is a beautiful aircraft and one of my favourites!
When you were discussing the protective measures, I was thinking of the Black Knight's response about it being only a flesh wound. He kept on fighting and the A-10 pilots would also keep on fighting and longer than the Knight, too.
Great video. Thank you.
Sam, GREAT video! Nicely done.
I lived in Valdosta for 4.5 years and the constant sight of A-10s and AC130s was quite the thrill for someone who grew up near a Sikorsky plant just seeing black hawks. Every time someone said "what the hell was that" it was almost always an A-10 gun run practice.
OMG this is gonna be awesome
Love seeing the ground crew getting love.
Sam, I love your military videos. There are so many things I love that I would never be able to finish. Keep it up, those of us who love military aviation will be watching you to learn how it works. I just have one question when you make your videos do you have to ask someone's permission to let you record and upload the videos and if they ask you not to show certain things or do they ask you to show things to please certain people?
This is crazy
Brrrrrrrrrrrrt ! 🇺🇸🦅
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT. I live around the A-10 and i am exited to learn more a this bird
Your videos are great. Thanks for doing them.
Can’t wait to ear his mythical gun !
HELL YEAH !
The A-10 gave me hope on several occasions. An the Gatling gun sound gives me chills to this day.
damn, another awesome video! I like the music choices aswell!
YOU GOTTA DO ONE WITH DRONES
to show how deadly they are
DCS World A-10C Pilot´s like this Video 😁👍
I’ve been waiting for this! 🤘🏼
Your videos are so amazing I enjoy learning and watching your videos to learn about these amazing engineering Marvels
Just now if you hear the bbbbrrrrrrtttt you are not dead it just means you were'nt the target
"7Gs, doesn't happen too often," I envy this man. A-10s were my second choice for drop night.
WOW 10/10 BRILLIANT THANKS SO MUCH.
that was really cool, thanks for sharing
America: When will we defeat you?
Enemy: When pigs fly!
A-10 Warthog: Roger that. Inbound.
I made a video about this on my channel
FREEE BIRRRRD
You can almost hear the solo under the BRRRR
Never thought I would see such a scary Bullet in the A-10 video 😁 9:46
Great video as always, Sam!🎉
growing up in the lates 80s/early 90s this probably one of my favorite planes as a kid, and still to this day along with the f14. Me and my father would frequent the local hobby shop and buy models of these (along with old school 70s muscle car models, and then eventually gas/nitro powered traxxas remote control trucks). Such good times I will forever cherish those memories with my old man, among many others. Damn now im think i wanna get back in to making some models of these and cars again...
A-10 is my favorite plane and this is so cool to got to see it live!
Who thinks the USAF should strap some wings on an M1 Abrams tank and send it flying?
We already have an A-10, same thing
This channel is amazing!!
You make unbelievable content! Thank you!
I love the A-10 Warthog if I was a pilot that's what I'd want to fly
If you can hear the BRRRRRRTTTTT, you weren‘t the target.
The amount of production that goes into these videos just boggles how you only have 500k subs!
Because he has the most anticlimactic videos ever. Tons of build up with exciting music and cuts, and then it simply ends without any payoff. This was extremely boring.
Love your content! Keep it up!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! OMG IM SO HYPED OMG IM FREAKING OUT AHHHHHHH OMG!!
Will he fly in the A-10?
He better lad
Kinda hard, it is a single seater.
There's only one 2-seater... & that lives in a museum.
My first three years in the Corps I was a part of the TACP (Tactical Air Control Party) and only got to call in A-10s a couple of times during Joint Forces Excercises. It was a cool bird to bring onto a target. I think I had my most fun with calling in sorties of A-6 loaded to the gills. Giving a pilot a 'pickle all' command made for one hell of ground pounding.
Yesssssss thank youuuu for doing this i was in the 75th FGS
Only people who like the A-10 can like this comment
Screw you and ur comment
Like beggers
Sthu the A 10 is amazing
You beggars are everywhere. Feel bad for you.
I hate A-10 😈
Der sound wenn dass Teil vorbeifliegt und schießt ist einfach geil 🤩
