REAL COMBAT FOOTAGE | CLOSE AIR SUPPORT | A-10C

[@RedTail1-1]

Retired JTAC qualified 13Fox here. I can't thank these amazing men and women enough. Thank you to every Pilot who has ever flown a CAS mission, or even just trained for it. You guys are my Heroes.

I've seen this same footage a dozen times, on many different channels, but I'll watch it every single time I see it recommended to me. The professionalism displayed by these two Pilots. Guy on the ground is frustrated, 1 wants to do a show of force and get eyes on the target, guy on the ground gets a little angry and tells him he wants guns on the building, 1 doesn't snap at him or even justify his actions he just says he is "repositioning" meaning he's heard you and is going to give you what you asked for. Then 2 says he can't see the smoke so 1 tells him to fly cover. After 1 runs in 2 is about to follow in but 1 reminds him that he told him to cover. Instead of getting upset or going in anyway, he acknowledges and says he's breaking off his run. All this while guys on the ground are shooting at everyone including the Pilots. Just an incredible show of professionalism from these two men.

Absolutely the ONLY VIDEO EVER showing 30mm impacts visible in the cockpit / HUD.

[@sarttee]

This guy flew any slower and lower he'd be on the ground!

[@hoofed]

That’s how A-10s fly. XD

[@Gershepsky]

Thats almost top speed

[@inthedarkwoods2022]

"I said cover"... "Piss off"

[@tylerheckman4922]

He didn't say "piss off", he said "two's off" as in Hog 0-2 is off (aborting the in hot call).

[@user-jg6xu1kk1i]

Are those Americans? Who uses meters!

[@serjic8851]

United States, sometimes..

[@aperturetrades7464]

the US Military

[@gunnar6674]

Yes, the US military and the rest of NATO use meters for distance. But they still use feet for elevation.

[@johncoutris4870]

The US does...duhhh
