A-10 Warthog Thunderbolt II - Tactical Demo - Baraboo Dells Airshow 2009

[windh]

Awesome

[ironsnake211]

The best tactical plane ever!

[OmeGa114196]

@bluecat400 I agree u can't see the two engines and you should see them from that angle

[jwaustinmunguy]

@OmeGa114196 Fisheye lens adds peripheral field of view at the expense of the center of the field. The engines are behind the pilots shoulders.

[haraldinho13]

Its amazing that Dice has got the EXACT same sound in Battlefield. Its like completely the same!

[2scary4yu]

These cockpit cams are very cool, thanks for sharing :)

[qwasd0r]

"...demonstrating the Warthog's power..." :D

[bluecat400]

It's a joke people. A monkey would know this is an A-10

[bluecat400]

Thanks

[bluecat400]

The cockpit video is not from an A-10

[keffje007]

@bluecat400 lol your a funny guy.....

[CaptRH]

@bluecat400

Tell everyone why that is,because i see an A-10 here.

[jonny96]

@bluecat400 How you come to that conclusion?

[MemphisBelle291]

@bluecat400 what? Of course it is

[stikmunkey]

Is he Major Brown because he shat himself?

[tekknorat]

@stikmunkey no because he can make you shit yourself.

[mbudd121]

love the double cam. makes you feel like you're there. thx

[tankerjd66442]

damn Sir...you look really busy...!

[bigbadredsox]

I watched until 3:00 and asked "where is the A-10?"

[nighthawk006phoenix]

nice upload! A-10C FTW!!

[DHwalkers]

I'd be willing to bet thats not his jet he's flying considering its a commanders jet.

[jonny96]

Also did he say, he's see's some taliban on the airfield??

[jonny96]

I wish the commentator would tell us the name of the pilot! haha

[jonesy97]

Damn good stuff. 11 weapons pylons underwings to really pour on the hate!

[BNSFDetector]

I love the spit screen nice video. I love United States military demo teams.

[mrblackopsisgay]

What are tge chances ill be able to fly one if I woek towards it. And if so where should I start

[DHwalkers]

@mrblackopsisgay the chances are good if you really want to. First off would be joing either active air force or air guard. id try and be a crew chief on one first since you have to be an officer to fly. the hardest part will be becoming and officer, if you want to fly the A-10 specifically i'd suggest going guard because you have more choice on what your job is going to be

[mrblackopsisgay]

@DHwalkers thanks a lot ive been wondering where to start and you answered it perfectly. also i'm going to be working towards getting my pilots license soon so would that look good or help when going into and being picked

[DHwalkers]

@mrblackopsisgay yes it would because they recommend you have your civilian pilots license first

[DHwalkers]

@mrblackopsisgay what i was told by a pilot is that think of getting a private pilot's license as mandatory

[Bryanz098]

I love how at 6:20 you see the cockpit shake from the G's he's pullin, nice vid.

[BlackAces100]

Ima be flying one of those BADASS bombers.

[epilogmusic]

@BlackAces100 its a CAS plane

[MagicCat3]

wow that fake canopy actually works

[RyanCharley]

hell yeah harb!

[pashaahsj]

When you see a shark face looking at you from the sky and smoke coming out of it's mouth...

just stand there and close your eyes...

no point even try to run.... it's the A10.

oh and if you survive, which you won't you MIGHT just hear the BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRR ;)

cause the supersonic bullets would reach you before the sound :P

[adam95s]

If its so awesome and amazing, why is the U.S. going to put it out of service?

[bjornb18]

@adam95s They are not, they are upgrading them now to the A-10C standard!

[chaosad09]

I live close to martin state air port in md. I get to see these awsome machines quite often. I just love watching these planes fly. and the scream of those fans is music to my ears. 

[TheOnlyBowl]

Seen a demo of the A-10 recently, and I fell in love with the plane.

[TheGnomelandSecurity]

I'll let a warthog have it's way with me .

[MoFVoGel]

When this thing cums on one of those taliban motherfuckers, not even Allah can help them.

[bigtallguyzack]

@MoFVoGel yeah no god can fix someone facialed with depleted uranium splooge lol

[YSCrazypilot]

@MoFVoGel He never did

[popsflying]

This dudes not flying an A-10......not even close. Since when does the A-10 have swept wings? And where`s the split tail rudders and the over size engines that can easily be seen from this cockpit view ??

[MoFVoGel]

@popsflying

Compare the movements of the aircraft and the movements of the rudders.

It is an A-10, the camrea has just a Very wide lens.

[morval99]

Great video.

Just read up more on this thing; gun fires 65 rounds per second of depleted uranium shells.

[ldgrey1963]

Awesome A-10. I hope the AF Brass does not moth-ball the 10.

[m1ndfr34k117]

@ldgrey1963 I heard in AFJROTC from a Lt. Col. that they increased the service date 'til the 2080's.

[jordanb890]

harness seems a bit loose in the cockpit. should he be moving around that much?

[TheA10FAN]

awesome video!!!! didnt even know they had this airshow at the dells gonna have to check it out



[NielsShoe]

The A-10 carries heat seeking air - air missiles to take down SU-25 and helicopters it can also use its gun for air- air but its not got much of a chance agaist modern fighter planes as they have radar guided air - air missiles with 30 - 60 mile range. With F-15, F-16 , F-18 patroling above the A-10 pilot doenst need to worry too much about high altitude aircraft.

[ximenoworks]

Looks like fun.

[danielmartinex]

Could a A-10 be able to fight air to air combat against an average other whatever its called fighter plane???

[SouthSurreyMilitia]

@danielmartinex It's too slow and lacks proper equipment and armament to attempt engaging an enemy fighter.

[GasMaskCreation]

WTF!!!! LOL 3:19 SEE HIM GET INFLATED! xD

[looxgood]

@GasMaskCreation Yes, pilots suit automatically fills the leg and lower torso with air when high-G is achieved. This is done in order to prevent and reduce the effect of black out.

[bloo96]

Yeah! A-10 west demo team!!

Davis-Monthan AFB for the win!!

[JvanPavlo]

0:46 you actually can see one of the rudders over his shoulder

[Crawlerz2468]

poor guy rly getting pummeled by the Gs when he's upside down. excelent video - I LOVE the HOG

[worldinflames11]

hahh major brown in his pantsss

[szerszen22]

I wonder wheter he had to extend speedbrakes to achive 200 degrees per second roll rate as I couldnt see it... I think without 20% extended speedbrakes roll rate is a bit slower...

[geskes]

@szerszen22 You can see the speedbrakes. Look for example beginning of video at vertical roll. Clear speedbrake use. Also in the external view you can see it couple of times.

[ZombieManiax]

i love this plane!

[Kopihucky]

I wish they wouldn't put in the cheesy music and comments... Would of loved to have just heard the plane. Great video though

[1ablefalcon]

It's not the lens. It's the low position of the camera. At 2:39 you see the engine above his right shoulder.

[pas0003]

excellent video!

[pacrat90]

Excellent Video, Thank you so much for sharing :)

[cnknguyen]

Ive seen these demos in person and they are GREAT, something I find very interesting personally, you can hear a loud "THUD" as they pull back suddenly from the strafe run, another reason to go watch them live.

[coolyo366]

can the pilots hear the narration and music over the radio during the demo?

[pacrat90]

@coolyo366

No I don't think so, It's something that requires 100% focus at all times. The audio is from someone on the ground, not the pilot in the A-10 :)

[allek8]

Do you know where I can reach Paul? I am a childhood friend of his and have been trying to find him for a minute. k8thegr81@live.com

[pedrohawk3293]

Try with facebook!

[yoyoyoyoshua]

Russia ain't got nothin on this plane. The A-10 owns.

[pacrat90]

@yoyoyoyoshua

Why would russia want anything on this plane? Russia and the US are not at war...

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@pacrat90 I ment nothinj to compeat with it.

[usafa2000]

My friend also made a comment about how that wasn't an A-10 cockpit and I don't understand. 1. How do you not realize that its a wide angle lens? 2. Basic reasoning should tell you otherwise. a. That's obviously and Air Force pilot due to the helmet, the combat edge mask, and the wings sure aren't navy. That being the case one can conclude that he's flying an Air Force jet. b. What other jet in the Air Force inventory has that level of maneuverability but has a wing chord that short?

[MrDahve]

the a10 should be in service with the navy, i see alot of uses for it in the navy.

[PatriotsJetTeam]

Way to go Harb!

[AaronBarthol]

Nobody flies the Warthog like Harb! Badass!

[aaron8862006]

Harb is a BEAST!

[MattB613]

damn that thing carries quite allot of weaponry... not to mention its cannon can rip rite through a tank, hens its nickname "tank buster"

[TheOneRaf]

check his head turning read at negative g xD

[guitargod259]

I was at this show. This a-10 was the best one there. gotta love the sound of those turbine engines.

[labsun]

Nice action from a Warthog and pretty nice cut but for my opinion the cockpit view isn't the view of an A-10 The engines in the back can't be seen and the shape of the wings are totally wrong. This video shows two different planes.

[vectorartist]

I can see how you would think that, but that is the A-10 cockpit. The camera lens is very wide and sitting very close to the pilot (Paul Brown) causing it to distort the wings and block the view of the engines. The footage is synced so you can match the action inside and out.

[labsun]

mmh? . . . the 2 videos are quite synchronous and probably the fisheye perspective gave the wings the sweep . . . it's a great performance anyway but also a pity that there is no clear sign, that this is the cockpit of a A-10. So what . . . an A-10 is always an awesome tank-buster. Thanks for posting 8-)

[viper8red]

@vectorartist He wasn't literally saying they are two different aircraft. lol He was saying the wide angle lens wasn't the best choice as it's confusing in the camera angle. It looks like you're seeing two different aircraft. A wide angle without the distortion would have been better, failing that just a standard shot in the cockpit.

[stgkillerkill]

@vectorartist at 1.38 u can see the engine and the tail

[Callabris]

@labsun have you ever actually been in an A-10 to know this? What makes you an expert. FYI that cockpit View is correct. You don't see the engines from the viewpoint of the camera and the wings get a bit distorted by the camera lens and cockpit. It's the real deal dude.

[labsun]

@Callabris The A-10 is an awesome machine and I have seen her great performance on some airshows but I unfortunately never had the opportunity to be in a A-10 Cockpit, so I can't contradict. But it's hard to believe because of the strange view angle and I would have expected at least to see the rudders. But as I've written before, the A-10 is fantastic and I love her performance! ! !

[Legendary588]

@labsun hahahaha dude this is totally an A-10! lol!

[TheChunkyKong]

@labsun Very true

[videoclipits]

@labsun Why would this question draw so many negative votes. It's a good question. People can be ignorant dicks.

[wolf1010]

Still training to work on these babies but I'm heading to Davis-Monthan AZ soon. Can't wait.

[mayorlondon]

GREAT VIDEO & PRODUCTION!!

[Richy7010]

Strange.. i can not see the engines in the back.

[F22RaptorFF]

When was this? must have missed the airshow

[BlacktalonKevlar]

Awsome vid!!!!! 5*****

[webdr121]

Great video. God I love the A-10 and everything it stands for.

[navyblew]

The A-10 has always been one of my most favorite air crafts... mostly for its primary gun.
