"Do a barrel roll!"



[FastGreenFCF]

Wow! Really nice.

[JBDrummer23]

Based right out of my hometown Tucson, AZ. It's fun to watch him practice in the off-season.

DCS a10c has better graphics.

A bit slow in turns, used to tail chase them in a Piper Warrior over Chelmarsh resovoir, near Halfpenny Green in the early nineties.

Have seen them firing at the Wainfleet range in Lincolnshire.

[313Mema]

I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A "ROCKET" TOO!!...WOW.......I LOVE THIS PLANE!! TOUGH & AWESOME.....

[ConnorTaylorBP]

If it's killing the robots in Terminator Salvation in 2017... its good enough for humans for the next 30 years

[silkyjueves]

I wish there was a target tank to demonstrate its power

[ronthecyborg]

I wonder how much it would cost to load some blanks into the Avenger cannon, just for an airshow.

Probably not justifiable, but it'd still be epic.

[braddyboy82]

Amazing aircraft. The ultimate underdog and sleeper in the US arsenal!

[Captus15]

They will be replace :( But for something apparently better :) The F-35!

[CessnaAviator317]

No! I want the A-10! How much longer do they plan to keep it?

[LupusAries]

@Captus15 Somehow i doubt the F-35 can take the punishment the A-10 does. And it does not have the firepower. Just you wait, when the time comes the will pop out a new version of the Hog. Maybe a Stealth Hog?^^

[HenkAssen]

love its sound

[spinfrak]

Awesome display of the A-10's maneuverability. I think the only thing that make the Hog's appearance at an Air Show better is Unleashing the GAU-8 and it's classic "burp" noise. Shame no Air show is at a gun range!

[PchanStitch]

@spinfrak I honestly never understood why they couldn't just fire off some blanks, lol.

[PchanStitch]

@spinfrak I never understood why they can't just load the gun with a few blanks to shoot off on the strafing passes

[Rambo556]

Hey great vid! What kind of camera do u have?

[carbon4me]

My favorite military aircraft. Thank you for posting the video.

Cupertino, Ca

[STRSpotter]

The fire show aroung 7:10 reminds me of Jericho season ;)

[viperq]

I love that sound so much.

[felon95]

[skermy]

Flying tank, love these planes and their engines! It's said that they took the 30mm cannon and decided to design a plane around it and came out with this beast.

[TheLancer1993]

This here is the reason why I'm joining the USAF in 2 years!!

[Sleepyhead54]

those things are so quiet o_O

[TheBanditHunter]

Such an unusual sounding engine.

[DerMessermann]

[orisei]

[EpiphoneSH4]
