Well done! The Swedish Air Force has had this as a practice since the early 70's if not longer. Roadside hangars. refueling and rearming were usually sorted by enlisted servicemen and these roads were spread out over most of Sweden's road network. Turnaround time in wartime conditions usually less than 15 minutes(?).

I was watching one of these perform at the dekalb Taylor air show years ago from my parents home about three miles from the airport. When the pilot finished his show he flew East towards us and turned north right over our house at a very slow speed. He was so close I could see the name on his helmet as he waved to us. I couldn’t believe how slow that plane can fly. Soooo coooool

If I could own one plane it would be the A-10 Thunderbolt. I love everything about it. high payload capacity, Extreme durability, high manuevarability, long linger time, range and speed relative to its straight wing design and its focus on pilot protection.

[@kevnwarriner8819]

The survivability of the Warthog is higher than any modern plane that uses computers, because of it's fly by wire concept and in 2014 when Secretary James was waxing lyrical about F35's and B2 bombers taking over the A10's role of close ground support Senator John McCain literally told her not to insult his intelligence, because they are easier to shoot down than the A10, so far we will have the A10 until the next review in 2026, but we have another problem in that Trump pulled us out of the Open Skies Project and Ordered the scrapping of the last two planes capable of doing the job right at the end of his Presidency and there's no budget or plans to replace them making us blind to what the Russians are doing when it comes to Troop movements and the possibility of them attacking our Allies in Europe, including the Drone Attacks in the Ukraine on Ammunition Dumps that have suddenly been exploding for no apparent reason, well other then the Russian Drone Strikes..

[@TerryTerius]

@@kevnwarriner8819 that’s just not true. They are survivable in the sense that they are physically durable compared to most aircraft and have redundancies, not in the sense that they can handle suppressing and surviving modern anti-air defense systems from a near peer adversary. The F-35 and similar platforms are going to be far more survivable basically by default in those kinds of environments, especially when used in concert with the general suite of modern AA suppression tactics and systems. Handling AK 47 rounds and RPG’s is just not the same thing as dealing with modern SAM’s and MANPAD’s. Even during the Cold War the expectation was that the A-10s would suffer heavy losses fighting against tanks, and that’s literally what the plane was designed for. The sort of mythology that has popped up around it largely comes from the fact that the A-10 has been fighting in fairly low threat environments against technologically inferior enemies for the near entirety of its existence. The A-10 is absolutely a monster under those specific circumstances, but there are valid questions about whether that’s worth its price tag. The military is looking at the reality of what war with Russia or China would mean, and that is why the A-10 has come under such intense scrutiny. Longer range weapons are being developed for it, so I guess we’ll have to see how this all plays out.

[@mikebyerly2344]

I was riding my Goldwing in middle Missouri, in the hilly forested area. I slowed for a turn onto another road, on the crest of a hill. Two A10's came roaring up just to my right. they were down in a valley, so I didnt even know they were there. They were at treetop level, which put them level with me as I was on the hill. Scared me half to death, I almost dropped the bike as I was mid turn........! they were doing a chase thing, one after the other! Incredible !

[@yamahonkawazuki]

i saw a couple f16s which departed and returned from NAS key west doing the same thing . always fun to watch theyve gotta do it to keep their skills up. i was in key largo when i saw them chasing eachother over the sound. ( Blackwater sound)

[@briann5919]

I live in mid-Missouri in the hill country and see them several times a week. Seems like they use my house as a way-point as they are often cornering overhead. A few times they've been so low I can see the pilot! What a delight to see them! There is an air wing at Whiteman AFB where the B2's fly from (I see a B2 now and then too).

The A-10; aka 'warthog', aka 'tankbuster'. has been under threat of scrap plans in recent years.
