    Default A-10 "panel check" videos

    I took these a couple weeks ago out at Gila Bend, AZ. Kinda crappy video, but still pretty cool.

    It would be a lot more exciting if they were shootin'. Couple a nice low passes.

    Those are awesome!
    When I was stationed at Camp Humphrey's in Korea, Osan AB A-10s would do "practice/pretend" strafing runs on the airfield there. (or thats what we all thought they were doing). If we happened to be at the motor pool that day they looked like they were coming in for attack runs on you while your doing a PMCS on your vehicle.

    I also saw some during basic at Ft. Lost in the Woods, Drills made us sit on some bleachers and watch tree lines. They were off in distance, but they would come over trees and fire with the gatling guns (guessing at target boards/old tanks huge treeline in way). Sounded like a giant fart ripping. A-10 is one of my favorite planes..just ahead of the F-14 and F-4.

    Ok hold on a minute. I have a couple that I'll upload, but they kinda suck. Standby.

    The A10 has to be my favorite plane still in service followed closely behind by the F18.. The rest are just ho-hum..

    Very cool! My son said you can't have your lower until you get him that close to one!

    What percentage of power would you guess they were flying by at?

    Oh man, I have no idea. They seem to fly at the same speed all the time: Slow. IF we didn't have ridiculous budget cuts, I could probably get you guys down to Airburst Range to see some F-16s, but not A-10s. But they don't fly a whole lot anymore. No money.
