Wow its amazing
There is something truly beautiful about a A10C doing barrel rolls!
Absolutely...love how beautifully the hog rolls.
Especially after a good old brrrrrrrrt 🔥🤪😁
Very graceful like a ballet
Love the sound of those TF-34 engines
When you think about it, this plane and all it can do is probably the greatest fighter jet ever built.
@@trvman1 It's an absolute king of air support. I don't see why they're trying to replace it with the F-35 🙄
@@thedishonoredamerican129 because Politicians, people in the Pentagon and military don't make any $$$$ for themselves using older planes. it's all about $$$ and personal profits. How can you justify using a plane that has LESS then 1/2 of the capability of this plane if it isn't about the $$$? Thats BS about costly too much to maintain them. Look how much it is already costing to maintain the F-35 and it's a new plane and it is getting MORE and MORE expensive to maintain year after year. Plus all the cost over-runs. It's a money pit and it can't deliver anywhere near the payload older jets can.
@@trvman1 the f35 is an impressive jet with phenomenal capability ... but it cannot do the CAS mission nearly as effectively as the Hawg ... ditto AFAC, ditto CSAR.
@@thedishonoredamerican129 because Politicians want a plane that you can shoot down with a .22 rifle, not one that takes 3 RPG hits to take down!!
3:58 A 16-second minimum radius turn is about as good as it gets in the world of military aviation.
especially for how huge the a10 truly is
I worked at Fairchild in Hagerstown, MD (1977 - 1983) while these were being built and some of the engineering amazed me. This is the first video I've seen of one being wrung out. I knew they were agile from watching them fly at work but I never knew just how agile. Great video!
Props to the Pilot for that phenomenal A+ 10 performance
Such a great plane. That pilot really knows his bird. When we had friends visit from other countries they always wanted to see the A-10 and the SR-71 at an airshow.
I wish they would load these planes up at airshows so people can see what they are capable to carry. Even if they are dummy weapons. They can still do the same maneuvers loaded.
One day 4 hogs over flew me. Sounded like a dang ole b-52 man.
The spiritual successor to the Skyraider in SEA camo...doesn't get much better than that.
The A-10 never looked better, than in this livery!
I still remember the sound of the engines back in 1999. Luckily I was just a kid at an airshow and not a target
I so miss seeing them fly out of Willow Grove! Their sound is unmistakable!
May the A-10 Soldier Saver live on!! What a machine.
I was stationed at Aviano when a group of A-10s deployed there from England. The weather was great during their deployment, and they reached their mission goal early.
They were given permission to put on a demo for their maintenance people. The day before they packed up the pilots spent about 30 minutes 'attacking' the flightline, flying between the HASs & lower than the control tower. It was glorious.
Great camo scheme on this A10 and some incredible flying.
This exact a-10 is coming to Hillsboro Oregon next month for a airshow, I'm so exited.
I enjoyed working on the A-10 Thunrderbolt airplane and it is a powerful attack aircraft and good for the job it does and still worthy of more decades of troop support as it is the perfect workhorse.
Every A10 reference that comes up I look at tail letters, SB is still in my heart.
I think of them as my personal 'bodyguard' A 10's.
I was there! Could feel the heat from the pyro. Favorite non-Thunderbird part of the show (which was very stripped down this year unfortunately)
A 10's are effing sexy AF !! My favorite plane of all time. Designed in the 70's and still kicking ass this many years later .
I love the SEA Camo.
I was there and the show was so good 👌
The Cleveland Air Show has gone to crap over the last few years, even before Covid. I love the A10 and Thunderbirds, but that's not enough for the prices of everything.
@@paulschab8152 100% facts bro.What I was talking about was the A10 itself
Fighter pilots historically get all the attention. Once you see and A-10 you realize these are the best pilots bar none ...
Saw that bad boy in June. Badass jet. And a quiet one.
if you hear it, pray that your a friendly......not an enemy!
There goes my childhood...i loved it when the A10 and F4 boomed meters above the ground during maneuvers!
The aviators that get the privilege of flying that plane are the luckiest people ever! Awesome demo!
Oh my gosh, that pyro... 🤦🏻♂️ Murica, yes! 😂
I remember the good old days when we had a lot of A-10 in Germany (and Phantoms, and F-16, and F-15, and Starfighters, and, and, and...). I miss these days. I live near the former ADIZ, not so far away from Grafenwöhr and we had a lot fighter jets every day passing by. Nowadays nothing at all. This year not a single jet, and it's already september. 😭
All true. The pyros are so over the top, it's hilarious!
I was born in Germany in the 80s and my first memory of ever seing a military aircraft in the sky was the A-10, so it's basically been there all my life.
every pilot would love to fly this beauty..even fast movers would dig the flight characteristics of this warrior.
I think for a lot of People it would be one Just to behold it in real life, both on the giving and receiving end of it😇
@@terryboyer1342 damn! That pretty much makes you a priest! 🤣🤣💪 Best thing I have experienced where 2 F16s doing gun runs at about a mile away, still something you don't ever forget😊
But on the other side, I had my fair share of big bangs up close 🤣🤣(just check out my vids if you want to know what I'm talking about😉)
CCOOrrr!
Best ever an in SEA camo.
Insane flying, with a few slices in the mix.
SEA camo can vamos in any environment
The best!
LOVE the A10.
This is still our best agile jet for close support. Love it's moves!
It's nice to see this at an airshow. But imagine this puppy dropping in with its sights set on you!
Thank you for posting these videos .
Miss them flying out of Woodbridge/ Bentwaters England.
Love this scheme! SIOP scheme with dark gray nose (like B-52s had) would be awesome too!
I was there and got some pretty cool pics/vids. Beautiful plane!
The SEA camouflage looks great on this plane. That makes sense, because although it was primarily designed to kill Soviet tanks in WW3 Europe, the A-10 would have been perfect for close air support and rescue escort during the Viet Nam War. The Douglas A-1 Skyraider filled those roles admirably, but any A-1 pilot would have given anything to have the A-10s range, armor, loiter time, great low speed handling, massive weapons load capability, and of course the BRRRRRRTTT of the mighty avenger Gatling cannon.
fanatstic footage & awesome display,i used to watch A-10 flight ops at RAF Bentwaters & RAF Woodbridge back in the late 80's & early 90's but there A-10's flew in European one cammo scheme
It is truly a beautiful killer✌️🌠
Wow! This is my favorite plane. Just think of how they would have performed in Vietnam! Wish we had had them!
Just Beautiful
Very nice camouflage scheme - this should be standard again!
Love the old school camo scheme
gorgeous!!!
Now it's Perfect !
Camo A-10 is my favorite kind of A-10
BEAUTIFUL ! aircraft thumbs up, shared and thank you for the video. :)
I found out this year with the speed of this plane and the thunderbirds, a slightly higher end camera is needed. Mine kept wanting to loose focus. Awesome video as always.
great show and pilot thanks
Gorgeous.
What I love about that plane is that if it showed up near the end of WW2, Other pilots would not be that surprised. It looks so retro.
Favorite Jet hand down!
Looks good in sand and spinach!
I haven't watched one in a long time. audio visual recording has come a LOONG way! Hat Tip, AirshowStuff. Great vid.
As noted, the Hawg's TF 34s are quite quiet. 1995 Op Deny Flight, we were tasked to "make a presence" on short notice one afternoon and were released to fly below the "hard deck" but still above 5K'msl ... "you understand you're tasking Alpha Tens" "Roger" "No one on the ground will know we are there if we remain that high unless you authorize 30mm employment" "Roger, cleared COLD to 5K', continue" SMH.
I like the paint on this one. I had the all green ... and the all gray. AAAATTTTACK!
Cool!
Excellent ! 👏🏻👏🏻
This is one fighter that you don't want to see if you're an enemy solder.
Amazing how so many people can't shut their yaps, even when this cool demo is right in front of them.
Beautiful bird
love that plane
God I love that tail dip
Very cool plane. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
that plane is so bad ass
Nice video😊
Butter landing
Nice air show
Awesome
A-10+USA FOREVER!!🇺🇸
Best aircraft ever
Love this bird
This attack aircraft is very necessary for the defense of islands in Japan.
that's nice, but better it would be go hunting into N.Korea and shoot the fat tootsie roll!!
I was there !!
Baddest airplane in the world.
Amazing display, retired A-10 Crew Chief. USAF
Camo is OUTSTANDING! HOOO-AAAHH! ATW! ducti amore patriae
Incridible
Badass.
11:15that's a very interesting view at an airshow with the ships in the background
Way back when I was a crew chief on a scout helicopter we worked with these all the time. They are highly maneuverable but the best part is when the fire that cannon. It was bad when we got under them it would rain 30 cal cases. Funny we stayed in tents in the field and the air force guys stayed in hotels. Still wouldn't change anything about that experience except the food air force food was way better than the army's.
Not to take away from your experience, but that must've been a different aircraft. The Warthog's 30 mm shell casings are not ejected but rather cycled back into the system to retain at least some of the weight balance that is lost by firing off the projectiles in order to maintain the center of gravity. I remember an A-10 pilot mentioning that this also happens for safety reasons so the casings don't get sucked into the huge engine intakes by accident.
@@kicksnarehats11 not in the seventies they weren’t have several we picked up off the ground.
@@kicksnarehats11 we never pick up our brass at any range then either which I understand is apparently mandatory now. Things change which is great having come from a reloading family it was something that bothered me just leaving all those casing on the ground. I was told they count how many rounds are used and they prefer to have the same number coming back in. The years I was at Ft. Hood I had a pretty good collection of casings from 7.62 to 30mm even had some live rounds of 20mm ammo we found in the parking lot outside our barracks.
The hilllllllsssss arreeeee allliiiive with the sounnnnnd of BRRRRRRT BRRRRRRRRT. Still can't believe they are set to retire the BRRRRRRRT.
On a long straight in low altitude approach you cannot hear it coming. Many targets never knew what hit them.
Ha! Same applies when you’re sitting in your deer stand north of the old England AFB, and a couple of them sneak up on you at tree top level!
Is the paint job a tribute to the F-105? I was only just learning about the fight those guys put up in Vietnam. A lot of them didn't come back.
It is! You can read more about the background of the scheme on our website - airshowstuff.com/v4/2021/a-10-demo-team-unveils-new-special-paint-scheme/
What a mean machine, where can i get one?
The angel of DEATH!!!
I love warthogs!! 😃
BRRRRRRRT BRRRRRRRRT BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT
Did they do the brrt
As we are watching an A-10 in SEA camo does anyone have an opinion on how the A-10 would have performed in Vietnam and would it have made a difference,? We had the OV-10 bronco and Douglas Skyraider A-1 for close air as well as F-4 in fighter bomber missions but what would the A-10 add?
It would have filled the same role as the bronco for CAS and its cannon would have added the gun run element but it was still too slow to safely deliver mk.82, hence why the a-6/a-4/f-105 filled that role
@@treypeters1087 wondering what kinda of losses the A-10 would have had? A-1 and OV-10s biggest threat was small arms fire.....don't know them to have taken huge losses in Vietnam like the Thud did.
@@erickohlhorst747 you know, i dont think it would have sustained many losses except from aerial encounters, but with sufficient CAP cover the only thing beside a lucky small arms shot would have been if they flew straight over an s-75 sam site, or the AAA fire from 37mm M38/39-- the A-10a was still a very slow aircraft
Mudmover, Go ugly early, Warthog call it what you like its deadly.
If you were surrounded by bad guys and could make one call, who would you call...I know who I'd call.
Can we use it to police the English Channel please? 👍🇬🇧
This fighter is perfect for air support but the politicians wants to replace it with the f35 🛩😡
Basically a Lear Jet that's weaponized
No bar.
If you're referring to its turbofans; it's exactly like a Bombardier CRJ-200.
lear jets don't have bathtubs as standard equipment.
@@delten-eleven1910 exactly right I am an A&P and only work on crj200 's
THE BRRRRT IS MISSING
Obviously a FAKE , because real A-10s go Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt LoL
Great footage
man that dude doing the announcing sounds like bryan schule
❤️❤️❤️
Lindo. Pena ser tão cara a Hora Voo.
sea camo?? more like jungle camo...
can someone explain how this is sea camo?? cuz I feel sea camo should either a dark blue-ish camo or a dark gray they used for harriers.
South East Asia - SEA
Any idea why the designer went for a forest green color rather than a darker green to match the color scheme of Vietnam-era planes? Nonetheless it's a beautiful plane! Would love to see one in person one day.
