A-10 Thunderbolt II "Warthog"

Shorts

Wake up! There’s work to do today.

This is what the enemy sees when the A-10 fires its main gun. Well, not for long anyway.

A-10 Warthog in action in Afghanistan. Soldier: "They ain't alive no more, that's for-" A-10: "We're done we I say we are done." Who doesn't appreciate a good double-tap?

There’s nothing like a good BRRRT to start your morning! 65 rounds per second!

Up close look at some components of the GAU-8/A Avenger cannon. 53+ years of American engineering. 🇺🇸

I love the smell of BRRRT in the morning!

This is the greatest sound in the world. Prove me wrong.

Can you believe the size of the holes the 30mm rounds leave as they rip through the sheet metal of that car?

Watch as an A-10 Warthog conducts a strike on a Taliban vehicle fleeing the scene of an attack in Kandahar Province on 24 JAN 2018. JTAC: "Pilot, you see that car?" Pilot: "Yep" JTAC: "I don't want to." Pilot: "Say no more!"

4 main bolts. That's what is used to attach the wing assembly to the fuselage of the A-10. 4 bolts.

Here is some HUD video and audio of an A-10 providing realtime close air support in Afghanistan.

Sometimes it's hard to imagine what 65 rounds per SECOND looks like. Maybe this helps.

Did you know? There is one other plane that uses the same engines as the A-10? The S-3 Viking! It has a rather interesting nickname.

There are many BRRRTs in the world.

Nearly 4 minutes of BRRRRRT! Why is the A-10 your favorite?

Do you have 4 minutes to spare? You won't be disappointed! A-10 Thunderbolt II Demo Team - Cockpit View

The A-10 isn't some lumbering, clumsy plane. It's insanely agile for a 50+ year old aircraft. Watch it climb!

Can you spare a minute of your time to enjoy an A-10 flyby? Not one, but TWO Hogs. Listen to those engines whine!

The A-10 was featured in the desert battle of Transformers. Would have been nice to see them save the day, but the AC-130 takes the credit. We'll chalk it up to teamwork. 😅

How many A-10’s is too many?

If freedom had a sound, this would be it. Minus the screaming lady 😅

Happy 54th Birthday to the A-10 Thunderbolt II On this day in 1972, the YA-10A made its first flight. The video shows the Northrop YA-9A and the Fairchild YA-10A in a head-to-head competition to become the Air Force's newest attack craft. Happy BRRRT Day!

Listen to the story of Colonel Bob Efferson as he talks about his battle-damaged A-10 and how its purpose-built survivability brought him home. There were 17 major holes just below the cockpit and not a scratch on the pilot. The titanium bathtub saved his life.

A-10s performing low flyovers in South Korea, 2022. I don't understand why people say this plane is ugly.

Who has the better BRRRRRRT? F-35 or A-10?

MUST WATCH! This is how the GAU-8/A Avenger inside the A-10 works. Remember, it's doing this at 65 rounds per SECOND! A true modern marvel.
