A-10 Strafe (HUD)

[Orangebike666]

An A-10 pilot's wife was frustrated that she couldn't satisfy her husband anymore after he got his wings... BUT, she had an idea and the next time right before the end she SHOUTED

"ALTITUDE!!! ALTITUDE!!! PULL-UP PULL-UP TERRAIN TERRAIN"

She then let out the loudest humming groan she could make followed by rattling like a stick shaker.

This is now common practice among wives of A-10 Pilots!

[dantheman1432]

Was that beeping some kinda G-LOC warning when he pulled up?

[ilikeycoloralot]

@dantheman1432 I'm pretty sure its an AOA warning. His speed was slowish at about 270knots and he was pulling up hard, so he must have been pushing the AOA limit.

[bleachfan73]

@dantheman1432 no its a warning of low altitude im an a10 pilot myself and i hear that all the time when doing strafeing runs

[Dowly]

@dantheman1432 AFAIK, the solid tone you hear briefly when he pulls up and in the end of the video is a stall warning. The rapid beeping is warning of an imminent stall or the plane has stalled already.

[NickEspo1000]

The GAU 8 sounds like my electric can-opener.

[fa18chornet]

Simply... Best job in the world !

[macieksoft]

What a long burst.

[ChowderHole]

@macieksoft the a10 is designed to fire ALL its rounds without overheating.

[Marky12394]

look at his accuracy, he keeps the sight right on the road the whole time he is firing. impressive...

[sierra1boy]

amazing



[Yoonyah]

Is the pilot having a wank or what ?

[Kopihucky]

@Yoonyah LoL @ you



[carlh45]

@Yoonyah G froce, you can weigh like 1000 pounds during that and it's hard to move.

@Skydivingkittens A Red bull air race pilot pulled 11G a while ago

[DepakoteMeister]

@Skydivingkittens Actually, the limiting factor is with humans, not the planes.

[wolf1010]

Wow, he fired the hell out of that gun. Haha fuck you weapons =]

[Woodstock187]

i like bitching betty xD "ALTITUDE ALTITUDE"

[williepayt01]

@Woodstock187 LOL good thing it wasnt saying "sink rate sink rate"

[Equilibrium9415]

I don't think you'll breath much when your body will squeeze you with 6x the weight.. Would be 420kg in my case

[SgtRic58]

This was from a friendly fire incident where British soldiers were mistakenly shot.

[OHTEHWIN]

@SgtRic58 Dude, the terrain is WAY different from that video. The chances of them being related are astronomical bud.

[alex30riv]

I wonder what it feels to be the one pulling the trigger and see the show right in front of you...

[jednoucelovy]

wow that gun is massive! the whole plane is shaking

[Quakeboy02]

@jednoucelovy

It's not just shaking, the plane is actually slowing down. Those guns are beyond words.

[ViperSRTnACR]

Thats a long strafe, great vid thanks for the post.

[stevenbitter]

Pity of all those bleeps.

[94rainbowx33]

Okay i have the confirmation Lock On its a game but its a little bit realistic

[Cman95]

@94rainbowx33 are you that stupid? can you really not tell the difference between a game and reality

[skyFx100]

check this one out:

HUD view destroyed by software failure

[waloumi]

no, he just got 5g in the face, that means while shooting his weight was mutliplicated 5 times.

[wolf1010]

Amazing shot's. From the looks of it, he flowed that trail or road whatever it was dead on.

[drewren1231]

u can hear the straining for the 5g egress

[bloo96]

God I love that gun.

Wish my eyes were good enough to be a pilot.

[jednoucelovy]

I wonder if they have some telescope vision instrument there, because the gun fires on longer distance than you can see...

[mrrmancunian]

Even in a Warthog there's some pretty harsh G's.

[TheReverzer]

You can actually hear him fighting against the g-force.

btw nice vid

[yellowbikemike]

@TheReverzer That was not from the G forces, That sound was him getting off from shooting that GAU-8!

[nitrouselement]

I would like to see more of these videos.
