dok_rp Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Hello folks, Just seen this video on Youtube, and I wanted to share it too. I know it's old school the story of ground pounders being tough and all, but this is another fine example of how resilient the A10 is when the situation calls for that. I for one love to fly the A10. Most missions I take on FC2.0 now end up with me being damaged by .50, 20mm or 30mm fire due to the aggressive AI. And, most times, I can get back home, get repaired and come back to the A.O. Great aircraft indeed. Bonus goes to Mr George C Scott's voice on the voice over. :thumbup: Hope you enjoy it. 3
BrumTx Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Great Video thanks for finding it Remember the 346 Fire Fighters, Medics & Police who died on 9-11....... Selective memory is a wonderful thing, especially when certain posts simply disappear into the ether never to be seen again, unless I have a copy of the original post copied and pasted into word documents and saved .... just in case :) Am I an abusive idiot ? Due to physical incapacity my Wife types my post's for me

Brit_Radar_Dude Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Good find. I recently re-read Warthog: Flying the A-10 in the Gulf War by William L. Smallwood (I'd highly recommend it to anyone, ditto his book about the F-15E) and this incident is described in there. Sweet to see the video of it and put a face to a pilot's name.
