I recently had heart surgery. My symptoms started last summer, I went to my doctor who referred me to OHSU. I was diagnosed in one day and one week later had surgery. My out of pocket expense will literally be pennies on the dollar. My total time missed from work will be about 5 weeks. I've been paid for all my time off and almost all of my medical bills will have been paid because we DO have a good system in the United States. Last year my wife went through weeks of cancer treatment. Again, our out of pocket expense was pennies on the dollar. If you wanna sit on your ass and complain about shit you don't have a clue about, go right ahead. If you get off your ass and get a decent job, then your healthcare is part of your compensation. If you don't want to work, you still get treated because it is illegal for hospitals to turn people away. This video was just a nice short little military aircraft thing and people like you have to come here and start making idiot comments and make it political. Screw you!! Meh!!
I was a teenager. The boys from Syracuse flew A-10's in for landing over our house all the time. When I was laying out at the pool one day, I heard that distinctive sound. 2 A-10's coming in. , I stood up and waved. They always flew low by our house for landing. I lay back down in my chair. Then I hear that high pitched jet sound, fast coming, I was like wtf? There they were they did a fly by with 4 jets parallel to the pool. Wicked low. I almost died. I was screaming My mother ran out of the house screaming "what did you do?". And I was just happily jumping up and down. Thank you Boys from Syracuse!!!Read more Show less
@@domlosurdo3432 They were flying F-16s in Syracuse at the Hancock ANG base for a long time but sadly have switched to flying Predator drones. You won't see any fighters in Syracuse anymore, just drones and the occasional Blackhawk and Chinook.
The bullets travel faster than the speed of sound meaning that the only way they would know about the A-10 is if they saw it before it started firing, which wouldn't be easy considering they fire from fairly far and quite high up. Basically any enemy would likely be dead before seeing or hearing the A-10.
@@silvergtotwinturbo9984 Nope, bullets travel quite a bit faster than sound. Most do, anyway, the exception being subsonic rounds. If you hear the *brrrt,* you were not the target and you pray you're not the next target.
1:02 Imagine seeing one of those A-10s doing that, listening to the turbo fans increasing in speed, then suddenly hear, BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT
+mierzhen I live not far from the base where A10's are stationed here in AZ and when they fly pattern work or training around the area, they always fly unarmed unless they're going to the range for target practice. Even then, they're loaded up with training rounds that cause minimal impact damage to target in order to preserve them for future training sessions.
Great aircraft but it has not seen combat use beyond lighting up a few arabs with rpgs....(who just wanted to defend their homeland like the ukranians)(i still support our troops) That aside its pretty slow and that would make it a easy target.
Best sound in the world as an A-10 drops in from 10K ft. for some close ground support. No matter where I was or how hot the climate, I was always treated to chill down my spine!!
The F-35 and the A-10 have their own things that they're good at, and in my opinion, one cannot replace the other. They're for different situations and flown by different pilots (correct me if I'm wrong).
FreeCreeperHugs The biggest thing that annoys me about the F35 is that they want to eventually use it to replace F-18's but the Navy have always liked 2 engine jets so if 1 fails they can still get back to the carrier. If the 1 and only F-35 engine fails then the pilots are fucked, i don't like that pilots lives will be put at risk.
F-35 is intended as a replacement for the F/A-18, F-16, and the F-15E. Logistics-wise, it's a smarter move, because it's easier to supply one aircraft than a variety of specialized aircraft.
Spades Neil I think the F-15 & F-16 are overdue for a replacement but the A-10 & F-18, have proved themselves to be extremely capable aircraft, meaning that, to me, replacing them is unnecessary. I don't understand why the most powerful military in the world are trying to cut back on spending, when countries like China are doing the opposite.
God Because under this new system, if you only have one aircraft, you could buy a single plane for the price of six, and have it do the jobs the other six were specialized to do with only small modifications or none at all. It's a logistics dream. Replacing the A-10? I don't know about that, because the A-10 just carries such a sheer amount of firepower, but the F-35 a far superior aircraft than the F/A-18 already--beside only having one engine. Really though, one verses two engines isn't going to make a huge difference. Assuming the maintenance crew isn't retarded, the engine isn't likely to fail on its own, and if it does fail it's going to fail near the runway from a bird getting sucked into the engine. On the battlefield however, if you're damaged, it's probably by a missile, and you're probably already fucked if you got hit by one. If you were in an F/A-18, that missile blast is going to most likely take out both engines and a wing while it's at it. The F-35's huge benefit there is remaining less detectable than the F/A-18. You can't shoot what you can't see. I don't think our dear Warthog is going to be retired any time soon.
Brings back memories from the late 70’s on the farm in England. Almost every day we would see these awesome aircraft flying around in pairs in Yorkshire. In those days RAF Bentwaters and Woodbridge served as their home they were just wonderful to see. Sometimes in the tractor in the field they would seem to use you as a pretend target. I just loved the sound, and still do. Great video.. thank you
@@Normal1855 Good morning and thanks for your reply. It must have been a great job working on these awesome machines. They are always noted as been ugly but for me are just the opposite. Both exciting to watch and hear. That whistling noise used to send tingles down the spine👍
They used to sometimes cross us in West Suffolk, heading for Woodbridge/Bentwaters. That famous engine whistle was so frequent we took them for granted, like the Jags & Tornadoes here in Norfolk. Now sadly, the whole lot gone, only RAF Marham base is still open for F35Bs....
I was an Air Force rescue gunner for years. We worked with the A-10s on a semi regular basis. Badass air craft and the people who fly them are also badass! These guys are using the runway as a cold target set. I’m sure between the two of them they’re making “in hot” and “out” or “off” calls. Very cool!
Had a pair fly through Franconia Notch in NH many years ago while ice climbing. We thought it was an avalanche at first until we spotted them. We were high enough to be level with them and saw the pilots helmets.
Bet you anything those birds were from Westfield, MA. There used to be a squadron of them stationed there, at Barnes Regional. Now its just the 104th, with F-15s.
I'm Irish and as such don't get to see this sort of thing here, so I am obviously sick as a parrot with jealousy...thats a given.... Having said that....two things stuck me about this clip: 1) Really well done on the footage....I got a real rush from it, more than most other Hog clips I've seen recently. Its the best plane in the US arsenal by far, long may it continue. BUT, what really impressed me, actually blew me away was..... 2) Time the interval between the first flyover of the two aircraft....5 seconds approx as the come in and 5.4 seconds as they egress out...... Now watch the completely different routes they take at 500kph approx at 300 odd ft and yet as they come back they are only separated by half a second..... Now that that takes real skill, amazing.
Half a second? Their first interval was closer to 8 seconds, and their second pass was 10 seconds apart. Does Ireland use a different type of time than everyone else? There is a clock (timeline) on every video on TH-cam.
OMG that is just breathtaking! The setting alone is cool, then my favorite plane flying overhead. That humming howl and whine all together just does something to me.
The A-10 has been one of the most effective military planes ever made, yet for some crazy reason also the one that they've been trying the hardest to mothball (even back in its earliest days).
Can remember these flying low over the English countryside, tree top height, then rolling inverted to go over the hill which is 1000 asl. They would then flip the plane over and continue their flight. Used to be as regular as clockwork so we hiked up the hill and gave them a big wave as they flew over. It seemed to us that we only had to put our hands in the air and we could touch them. Love that aeroplane!!!
Where I live, I've seen several A-10's, most likely the same two, fly over, 2 Huey Helicopters, a blackhawk, and several Sikorsky H-34's. I don't live anywhere near a military base, so its always awesome to see these.
I lived in Tucson Arizona when I was a little kid and that’s how the a10 became my favorite aircraft! Those turbo fans have such a unique sound in person,you just know it’s a a10 when you hear it.
I've seen side-by-side target runs by A-10s and F-16s, and the A-10s do a complete 360-degree turn in a very small fraction of the space that an F-16 can. And this method of steeply climbing up and flipping around to come back the other way is pretty impressive too.
USN veteran; I LOVE their unique engine whirling/sound! Had pleasure to witness & hear @ NSAWC Fallon, NV with HS-2. Squadron of A-10s happened to be there also. F-14, F/A-18, S3, Turbo Props, Helos.... Loudest ever EA-6B Prowlers launching of catapults.
I was able to see them execute their business of destruction in Kuwait during Desert Storm in '91. Nothing was safe. Absolutely lethal. There is no sound like that gun in the nose when it lets loose!
That A10s nose lining up head on and the scream of those engines is the last thing many of our enemies see and hear. We got to see it and live! Awesome video
Damn shame these are getting retired. Idea, why don't we sell these to NATO countries or SK or even Japan? The A-10 would still get used and we make some $$$
Shit man, if they are any good in cold weather, I'd bug my MPs to pick up a few for Canada. But fat chance of that, instead we're in on that F-35 PoS. Blech. Aging Helis and long range transport planes, and we get the F-35, sheesh.
333keb a few weeks ago I was in Gettysburg, and a few A10's flew over much like these in the video. They were a little higher off the ground. They came by and did a bank from side to side. Very cool to see. I hope they keep them around. They are my favorite military plane
The first time I ever heard this was sitting in a foxhole surrounded and covered by trees in the woods at Fort Polk, LA on a training mission. Scared. The. Crap. Out of me! Love it though! It's a sound I never will forget and still gives me shivers listening to it.
122 Blacksnakes Ft.Wayne Indiana fly over the house often. I still run outside to look it never gets old.Especially when they're flying low enough to see the pilot
In the early 80s with my family i was going up the side of a mountain to Breezewood in pa and a flight of four a10s went up the valley next to us about level with the cars on the turnpike. Never will forget it.
When I was a kid me and .y dad were fishing and we heard these planes coing low and the child me started waving like an idiot and making my dad wave too well we watched them quickly turning and they passed by even lower my dad had a bigger smile than I did that's one memory with my dad ill never forget next day he bought me an a10 model kit. Those pilots have no idea how grateful I am to this day that they did that.

I've seen side-by-side target runs by A-10s and F-16s, and the A-10s do a complete 360-degree turn in a very small fraction of the space that an F-16 can. And this method of steeply climbing up and flipping around to come back the other way is pretty impressive too.
The A10 is the only plane that can make a grown ass man cry from joy...
1:02 sounds like something you would not want to hear
If the Bald Eagle were a Transformer the A-10 would be its Transformer disguise.
this is the sound of freedom
Listen to those freakin turbofans on the dive! Best flyby vid I've seen in ages! You lucky guys!
0:57 start of the coolest part
USN veteran; I LOVE their unique engine whirling/sound! Had pleasure to witness & hear @ NSAWC Fallon, NV with HS-2. Squadron of A-10s happened to be there also. F-14, F/A-18, S3, Turbo Props, Helos.... Loudest ever EA-6B Prowlers launching of catapults.
7 Taliban members didn't like this. I wonder why?? :)
+Tomas Cuay Freedom?
HAHAHAHA cry me a river! One word
segregation
Cause the other 4000 are already dead
1:02 NOW THAT IS SCARY
That A-10 is literally doing the stuka siren sound which makes the A-10 like 100x more scarier
Yep, modern day Stuka lol
Stay calm and BRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!!!!!
I was able to see them execute their business of destruction in Kuwait during Desert Storm in '91. Nothing was safe. Absolutely lethal. There is no sound like that gun in the nose when it lets loose!
Imagine you are an enemy tank commander. You look up and see and hear 1:03
I think i would only do one thing. I'd say "Shit." Then probably get blown to pieces :S
"Oh sweet mother of-"
BBRRTT!
That A10s nose lining up head on and the scream of those engines is the last thing many of our enemies see and hear. We got to see it and live! Awesome video
Damn shame these are getting retired. Idea, why don't we sell these to NATO countries or SK or even Japan? The A-10 would still get used and we make some $$$
Shit man, if they are any good in cold weather, I'd bug my MPs to pick up a few for Canada. But fat chance of that, instead we're in on that F-35 PoS. Blech. Aging Helis and long range transport planes, and we get the F-35, sheesh.
333keb a few weeks ago I was in Gettysburg, and a few A10's flew over much like these in the video. They were a little higher off the ground. They came by and did a bank from side to side. Very cool to see. I hope they keep them around. They are my favorite military plane
Mike Boyle gettysburg, pa?? haha shit i live like 5 minutes from there!
Yeah, I don't know where they were from. They were gray. Must be nice to be able to fly an awesome plane, and fly over the most hallowed of grounds.
I think they should sell one to me haha
A-10 pilots have got to be some of the coolest people in the world !
Freaking AWESOME !
Makes your arm hairs stand up doesn't it.
Thanks for sharing! How fast they did the 180 never gets old
shit fuck that , if i heard an a a-10 turbo fan in the air like at 1:00 I would be running, I dont care if its just an airshow, its an a10
Funny thing is, if you were meant to be killed, unless you were REALLY well hidden, you'd be dead before you heard it.
+Michaelc136 Yeah, and then when you look up and see that silhouette not moving, but only getting bigger...that's the moment you shit your pants.
The first time I ever heard this was sitting in a foxhole surrounded and covered by trees in the woods at Fort Polk, LA on a training mission. Scared. The. Crap. Out of me! Love it though!
It's a sound I never will forget and still gives me shivers listening to it.
One of my favorite WARBIRDS!!!
I love the A10 ,I remember when they were at Bentwaters/Woodbridge in the UK ,I would spend ages watching them on my school holidays .
122 Blacksnakes Ft.Wayne Indiana fly over the house often. I still run outside to look it never gets old.Especially when they're flying low enough to see the pilot
I love that little "phew" after they pass by.
Goosebumps man, that engine sound is very distinctive!!
That plane turn is what made me feel safe
Love the sound of those monsters! Pure gold!
Great Video and the best A-10 Clip
The sound of the power- Wonderful !
I bet the enemies that heard that were shitting themselves
Brrrrrappppp! The sound of the gun firing is incredible. We used to hear them at the Goldwater range in Arizona.
In the early 80s with my family i was going up the side of a mountain to Breezewood in pa and a flight of four a10s went up the valley next to us about level with the cars on the turnpike. Never will forget it.
Chills. My favorite Cloud killers. Thank you!
When I was a kid me and .y dad were fishing and we heard these planes coing low and the child me started waving like an idiot and making my dad wave too well we watched them quickly turning and they passed by even lower my dad had a bigger smile than I did that's one memory with my dad ill never forget next day he bought me an a10 model kit. Those pilots have no idea how grateful I am to this day that they did that.
A ground pounders best friend when it comes to close air support. Nothing will ever replace the BRRRRRRRRR of freedom rain.
1:02 reminds me of the stuka siren !
I love the screech these make as they go past you
The sounds of the scythes of death passing by. Excellent ground vermin control tool.
1:19 POV: you know you’re cooked 😂😂
@bulletstop100
It was in Northwestern Montana at a private airstrip
Thx I was wondering. I also used to watch them @ Hill afb, doing my landscaping job in Clearfield UT.
