They usually use about 8-10 aircraft each airshow; which makes me wonder why they used about 13 of those replica's here. I just wished they could use all of them at each show :c

@rockonmyfriend yep, when the gau-8 is firing it has the recoil as one of the engines, so when your shooting the gau-8 your flying on one engine

[rockonmyfriend]

@taco1030 exactly! about 14 seconds of rounds! and if you unload too quickly the plane would fall out of the sky due to rapid weight loss!!! haha one badass gun

[taco1030]

@rockonmyfriend the gun has a rate of fire of 4000 rounds per minute or 50 rounds a second

[rockonmyfriend]

@taco1030 Definately! The gun with wings! One of my good former army friends talked about how he would watch a-10s leave an airstrip fully loaded with bombs missiles and bullets and come back 20 minutes later completely empty! Haha

@rockonmyfriend the a-10 is such a great plane especially with that big gau-8 avenger it makes such a attractive sound when its fired

[rockonmyfriend]
