buxmj Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Wow, that is impressive. Didn't serve, thanks to all who did and still serve. I definitely would feel better on the ground knowing those help keep me protected. Buck.
AeroNautical Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 The more versatile and agile variant: http://www.military.com/equipment/ah-64-apache-longbow Together, ground forces can waltz into engagements without fear. An impressive military force, we have.
Rockfrog Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I've done exercises back in the day where we were supported by US Warthogs and Helo's ... It was pure awesome sauce. No better day than rocking the 50cal with an A10 soaring overhead hammering the target with that "Fart" gun. Pure Chub!
jimoshel Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 No matter the technology, no matter the weaponry, no battle is won until the lowly grunt claims the territory.
Incommando Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 The A10 is truly awesome. The pounding that they can take and remain in the air is amazing.
mjeff87 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 One time, I may or may have not been screwing around during an FTX, in a Jeep with a couple of others, trying to follow some tank trails.....didn't know where we were, nor did we care LOL. Ended up on the outskirts of a flyover firing range (uprange, thankfully), when a group of A10's rolled over a hillside and did a high speed run down the range. We pretty much got the h*ll out of there, quickly. Jeff
dasbulliwagen Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I love the A-10's. I grew up in Battle Creek, Michigan home of Fort Custer where the Michigan National Guard flew A-10's around town doing exercises almost every weekend. Good stuff!

Strokermjcomanche Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Just found out my cousin flys one of these. He is also a instructor .
HOrnbrod Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 That's cool Adam. I just love the Warthogs. Where's he stationed?
Strokermjcomanche Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Maine , but I know he goes to Arizona as well . I don't see or talk to him much , but my aunt ( his mom ) just passed and we got to see eachother . When he said A10 I remembered this thread .Image Not Found
