[@raynyhus2026]

During Desert Storm, seeing one of these was a 2 fold message. 1. We were in good hands. 2. The enemy armor units were close. Being an artilleryman, tanks were our biggest threat that we had to deal with. These guys saved our asses many times. Big thanks to the pilots who flew these crosses of death.

[@central_texas]

We drove from the Austin area to Midland (~6hrs) to see this show. It was awesome & so worth it. The pilot was a woman with tons of flying hours, including combat hours. She's also an instructor. Thank you to all who have served.

In the late ‘80s I worked for Fairchild Republic I fabricated aluminum skins and other aluminum parts needed for the A-10. I’ve seen live combat videos when the pilot mashes the trigger for the Gatling Gun everything gets destroyed. BBBBBRRRRRRR Enough Said. Saved many ground troops bacon I’m told!

[@papajoecooking4425]

@ I worked at the Fairchild facility here Georgia south of Atlanta. Great company to work for. I operated press break and wing skins router. Good ole democrats decided to give Cessna the government contract for pilot training plane rather than to upgrade the existing training plane. Fairchild moved out of the facility Cessna even had to acquire additional land and add onto exiting building. Still don’t understand how Cessna underbid Fairchild. 30 days later I received a letter to buy back the stock shares I bought. I didn’t want to sell them! I was notified it was a forced buyout and I lost my stock and wasn’t eligible for compensation. That’s government work for you! 👊🏻🤘🏻🤙

Saw 4 A10s over the Yorkshire Dales, UK, late 1980s. Nose to tail, circling in the slowest, tightest formation I've ever seen in over 50 yrs of plane watching. The drone of their engines every bit as impressive as the flying.

[@g.richardson6883]

I grew up near Myrtle Beach AFB in the 70s & 80s. That turbine sound was the soundtrack of daily life. Occasionally, other fighter jets like the F-15 & F-16 would visit for a few days & rattle our windows, which made us appreciate our far quieter, hometown A-10s. As a kid, I remember A-10s not getting much respect, but that all changed after the Gulf War in 1990. We were sad to see them go when the base closed in 1993.

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

[@jimsodowsky1298]

[@markl8111]

Taste is all in people's mouth. The A10 is on of the best looking fighters ever conceived, stands out, and exceeded in purpose. The A10 was purpose built for close-in support and she does that better than any other platform built and scares anyone on the wrong end of it. The A10 is perfect.

You need to be the pilot - it's a single seater!

[@oneworld9071]

On our way to the Andrews AFB air show in the mid-80's, we parked on a road that paralleled the runway, offset by a 1/4 mile or so. From behind us perhaps 200 ft. directly above, two A-10s went into a banking climb....... as the load shifted to one side of each plane, so did the phase of the sound from the....... I mean MUSIC from the engines :) It was quite incredible. I've never figured out why if I hear turbofan engines it's such an engaging sound...... but that phase shift as the fans slow as they bank is quite musical. Fans of guitarist extraordinaire Robin Trower's tone know the ethereal "phase shifter" sound. A more pronounced effect, called "flanging" was allegedly discovered while dubbing tape with Jimi Hendrix' solos and other tracks on a second tape deck onto a master tape. A technician accidentally touched one of the tape reels (the "flange"), causing a slight change in the synchronized signals. It's not too unlike the phenomenon of one engine fan slowing relative to the other. Funny thing I live perhaps 5 miles from the Maryland Air National Guard base in Baltimore and have never seen any of our A-10 squadron flying.

I totally dig the DCS excellence on my personal favorite aircraft :)

The P51D up front was just eye candy.😛 There's not another jet out there that can do what the A10 does. It's as close to having boots on the ground in a plane as you can get.

[@richardlangdon1096]

Saw my first one while watching artillery rounds hitting the impact area at ft Stewart. Never forgot the site. Plane was always already passed you before you heard the burp of the gun. That was when you heard the plane as well. If I were the president, as commaner in chief I would instruct the air force to immediately hand over the planes, pilots, all tools and equipment to the army. And the army would also get the afs part of the budget for a10s as well. Better to put the tools into the system that needs it, wants it, and uses it.
