    I was a forward air controller mid 80s. I use to give them my position as a target on the range and they would "attack" my position. Of the pair that came in, one was an experienced major, and one was a new pilot who never went below 500ft. The major however... came in from his IP (starting point) and went directly out of site.. because he was flying 20 ft off the ground below the trees on the range road... once he got east of my position he popped up, flipped upside down, point his nose at me, and flipped upright saying "guns guns guns" on the radio as he came in on me from out of the sun... once he flew past, he dove back down and flew away down the range road again out of site. All this happened in 10 seconds. Dude was a bad man.

    Can’t help but smile big watching clips like these. My dad flew the Hog for over 2 decades and 2 wars. He’s retired now but when other guys when we’re out someone find out he was a Hog pilot they always offer to buy him a round lol. All the ground troops always say how much they loved hearing these suckers coming into the fight n how the enemy would always shit a brick.
    In his home office he’s got one of the barrels for the Gau-8 avenger mounted up on his wall. Had to do some major wall structural reinforcement to hold it up there. Had the whole barrel custom chromed plated. Hell of a conversation piece.

    Fun fact: The 30mm cannon in the A-10 is so powerful that it slows down the plane when it is shooting. Because of this they had to move the nose landing gear aside and put the cannon in the middle. If not it would cause the plane to turn when fired.

    A long, long time ago, I was in my boss’s office, for him to sign off on paperwork. We finished up with the signatures, and he hands me another piece of paper. “Read that, and tell me what you think.”
    It was very nice paper, and on it was the most polite letter I’ve ever read. It was from a member of an A 10 squadron, asking if they could please use one of product logos belonging to the company I worked for, as their squadron insignia.
    I said “He’s incredibly polite. Are you going to let them do it?”
    My boss, Mike, said “I asked what you think.”
    I said “I think you should. They call A 10’s Warthogs, after all. And that would look incredible on a plane!”
    Mike grinned back at me, and said “That’s what I think, too.”
    I gave the paper back, and Mike started scribbling on it.
    “Especially if they paint teeth on the nose like the Flying Tigers, but with tusks, like a hog!”
    Mike snickered at me, handed the paper back, and said “Take that up to Legal. Tell ‘em to call me if they have questions.”
    Mike had just directed Legal to give the A 10 squadron the right to use the logo, no caveats, and no licensing fee.
    And when the Gulf War rolled around, there was footage on the Evening news of an A 10 squadron that was being deployed - and every one of their planes had the Exide “SuperHog” logo on it, and there were a lot of nose guns framed in very sharp teeth, and tusks, too.
    Wherever you are, Mike, I will always be proud of you for that call, and proud of the planes and pilots who truly are Super Hogs.

    (From August 2023) Thank you for creating and posting this awesome visual/music sync! I used to make them for myself for the fun of it! But to the point: The A-10, my second favorite military aircraft (First = the F-14)! All I need to hear is the sound of its 30mm rotary cannon, and I instantly know what’s there. If you haven’t wiki’d it yet, I highly recommend do so: that gun, poking its nose out just a little=very deceptive. That gun runs the length from its tip to the the leading edges of the wing roots. As you probably already know, the gun was the ultimate prerequisite for any bids from aerospace companies. The challenge was to build a plane around that gun!👏🏽 There were also other prerequisites: The plane needed to be able to fly home with half the tail missing, half of one wing missing, on one engine.😮 I love this plane for several reasons, primarily its role as close air support/loiter time. Imagine a little group of scared 18 y/o soldier boys taking cover, they can hear the enemy getting closer and surrounding them. And what to do? Call an angel. Give the pilot the numbers, establish “danger close” and the guy or gal on the radio hopes the numbers are right and screams “Fire for effect!” Heads down and wait for a few seconds, then you hear the whine of the A-10s turbofans, music to the ears in such a moment, then an orchestra of BOOMS and BRRRRRT. The angel comes back around and more loud BOOMS and BRRRRRRT. And before they know it, they are the only people alive within a half mile radius. I can’t imagine how many vets still walk this Earth only because an A-10 saved them. Oh yeah, and those 30mm depleted uranium rounds can go through any tank armor like the proverbial “hot knife through butter.” I never got why it picked up the nickname Warthog because many consider it ugly, and I’m like, are we looking at the same plane here? The A-10? Because I think it is gorgeous! Instead of Warthog it should be ANGEL. And a beautiful one at that. But I’m sure any vets who got saved by one, never ever again thought it ugly. For such vets, they see an A-10 and think “Savior.”😇

      Unfortunately the war in Ukraine has shown that low and slow flying ground attack aircraft (Su-25 Frogfoot, and therefore the A-10) are not suitable for modern conflict where there are large amounts of AA weaponry around. The A-10 can only be used when there is complete air control and little to no AA weaponry.

    Kick start my heart awesome song for one of the amazing pieces of military aviation, that still blows me away and the sounds of the Gatling gun going off.

    Stories and songs about this legendary aircraft. Really took a beating and kept flying and fighting. Who needs an x-wing?

    I've never been a fan of neither modern nor solely american aviation, but this video is honestly superb.
    I must give credit where it's due, the combination of metal and a pure powerhouse which is A-10 turned out perfect.
    I'm willing to have 3:06-3:11 on repeat in my subconsciousness for the rest of my life, somewhere in between a massive Il-2 attack and some WW2 dogfights.

    I really really love your concept of two American fighter jets escorting two A-10s. The latter ones are not exactly air-to-air fighters, but upon enemy fighters approaching the CAS fighters would give the Warthogs a warning;
    - A-10s, getaway right now. We have incoming enemy fighter jets.
    - Copy, Lincoln 2, thank you for the warning. We are history. See ya at the base.
    - Sure, Tim. Beers on you then at the Canteen?
    - Absolutely :-)
    - Alright, you did a good one.
    - Yeah. Now, you have a good one :-)
    - We always do. You can count on us.

      Back at the airbase, a female official approached Tim. She asked,
      - Who is your A-10 partner?
      - Sorry I cannot disclose that. Have a nice day, madam.
      - Heaven's sake, Tim. I work in the canteen. You have known me for years.

      Romana puella formosa ante Timotheum centurionis venit et clara voce petivit;
      - Esne pater meus?
      - Mel est possibile.
      - Cur non es in domo nostra, tata? Non amas mom amplius?
      - Scilicet matrem meam amo. Sed miles sum. Qualem sit morte mori. Mater Siun particeps securior invenit :-)
      - Tim! Es adverisne?

      At the end of the day, the A-10 pilot, Sergeant Tim entered the American military base canteen. The female bartender recognized Tim. She said,
      - Hey Tim. Are you okay?
      - Hey, I am fine, thank you.
      - What would you like? An Irish whiskey on the rocks?
      - You know me way too well.
      - I know, right :-)

    I really don’t care what USAF or anyone else says. Ground support cannot be conducted from fast movers at higher altitudes. Sure if you’ve got them lined up to hell & back they might be able to hit the bad guys.
    The bravery & courage of War Hog pilots is second to none.

      I watched in1968 guys in the C-130's doin tree top training . could read the wattage of the red light. OV-10 A also built in Columbus, Ohio, test flown through our bottom ravine. I could shake hands with them. Throwing rocks would of brought one down. North American Rockwell !

    When I was in Afghanistan, I loved, Loved, LOVED when the Warthogs showed up. There’s just something a big fucking cannon shooting really fucking fast from somewhere in the sky does to make a person duck and cover that no 500 or 2000 lb bomb from an F16 can ever do. Save the bombs for hard targets that can’t run away (and the jet jockey might actually be able to see).

      Also there’s just something very Steelpunk about that aircraft, with its rectangularness and fuselage mounted engines. There will never be another aircraft quite like it again.

    Also your DCS looks so good, how that's possible what settings are you using.

      Thanks for watching! I didn't record the clips myself, because my DCS doesn't look that great. I used the official trailers (links in description) for my video. Here is a guide on how to optimize the graphics in DCS (th-cam.com/video/rPv_2BL73VI/w-d-xo.html) You can try these settings, if your PC is good enough.
