The A-10 West Coast Demo Team from Davis Mothan AFB in Arizona perform at the 23rd Quad City Airshow. The Pilot for the demonstration is Maj Paul "HARB" Brown.
Yeah the A-10 is remarkably maneuverable, and it gets a lot of that from it's rather sluggish pace. You can keep the Hawg over the airfield throughout the entire demonstration, where as something like the F-15 has to make wide turns due to it's high maneuvering speed. Imagine two of these over your head raining down 30mm coke bottle rounds, coordinating attacks. You'd never get a break.
