An A-10 Warthog saves infantry from an ambush.

The firepower of this A-10 Warthog is unmatched

"Good hit" that man in the Cockpit will never reach that high ever again

Always love how you hear the rounds impact well before the gun firing.

Black A-10 Warthog

"Good hit, Hog! Good hit!"

A-10's are beasts in war. They provide massive close air fire power and those planes come in hard. It was developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s and has been in service since 1977. The A-10 was specifically designed for close air support (CAS) and ground-attack missions, particularly against enemy tanks and other armored vehicles. One of the most distinctive features of the A-10 is its massive 30mm GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling-type cannon, which is capable of firing high explosive incendiary rounds at a rate of up to 3,900 rounds per minute.

The A-10 was one of the reasons the Soviet Union didn't invade the rest of Europe. They had no answer for the A-10 at the time.

How can these dudes understand the initial conversation on the radio? It was just static and mumbling to me.

The lady circled in red was Lucy Higgs Nichols. She was born into slavery in Tennessee, but during the Civil War she managed to escape and found her way to 23rd Indiana Infantry Regiment which was encamped nearby. She stayed with the regiment and worked as a nurse throughout the war. After the war, she moved north with the regiment and settled in Indiana, where she found work with some of the veterans of the 23rd. She applied for a pension after Congress passed the Army Nurses Pension Act of 1892 which allowed Civil War nurses to draw pensions for their service. The War Department had no record of her, so her pension was denied. Fifty-five surviving veterans of the 23rd petitioned Congress for the pension they felt she had rightfully earned, and it was granted. The photograph shows Nichols and other veterans of the Indiana regiment at a reunion in 1898. She died in 1915 and is buried in a cemetery in New Albany, Indiana.
