From Canada 🇨🇦. Retired combat engr & medic…then got into fire fight & paramedic work.anyway found your channel, it’s absolutely wicked! Consider the type of warriors you engage with, fawning top drawer. Chimo &Pro patria,

[@charliebravo1906]

When I was in Kandahar in 05 having this airframe above us protecting us was the most reassuring weapon we had. That sound…never forget it. Thanks boys.

[@bobhumes7429]

When you are in contact on the ground, the A10 is instantly your military angel 😂😂

[@Eventual-Visitor]

Yeah, the poor goatherders must get all perforated with their armed goats totally busted up.

[@j.robertsergertson4513]

Funny how he mentioned the smell of the gunpowder .My girlfriend and I had breakfast at a restaurant in fort Walton Beach Florida ,as we were waiting to paying ,there was a group 3-4 , guys in flight suits sitting near the register (I didn't really notice them) then I caught the smell of gun powder ,I said to my girlfriend ,Wow , I guess someone was doing a lot of shooting today . The guys all chuckled , I didn't realize Eglin AFB was a stone throw away , they were all A-10 Pilots.

[@CRAWLER3888]

Young veteran who grew up in the area also. Your statement checks out✅

[@markcoffey7433]

I worked at eglin afb as a dod civilian for eight yrs. I worked their infrustrure so I Eglin afb is the largest military base in the world. It stretches three counties. It is where Doolittle practiced for his Tokyo raid. Runway is still there and is still used for training ops. Eglin range is a massive heavy ordinance r/d. the 6th Army Rangers jungle training school is there too. Eglin range is home to our eod training facilities scattered throughout this range. There is Duke Field Reserve base shared with the 7th Army SF post , Ala ANG. Hurlburt Field is close by. It’s AFSOC training facility and home to our gunship squadrons, spookys. I was attached to an af heavy construction sq, 823rd RED HORSE sq. Pensacola nas is home to our Blue Angels. Okaloosa Co has most Purple Heart recepecants. Great people I miss it. I moved north to be closer to grandbabies. No democracts their

[@michelemcdermott75]

I love all your interviews- but this one is definitely my favorite! I want a sweatshirt that says “Die Commies Die”. or a Coffee Cup!

[@geraldwest3428]

Hell yeah, I second that emotion! T-shirt

[@hectorramos2490]

In the army they made us say "Die terrorist Die" when shooting the m249, M240, and 50 cal. That's how long your burst is "supposed" to be lol. I always told them I'm a slow talker lol.

[@brooklynboiprod]

I've always loved the A-10. I remember as a kid they had it on GI Joe and the toy also. There's also a cool A-10 scene in, Terminator Salvation

[@davidbakerscuba]

I believe it was a Cobra airplane. Cobra always had the cooler stuff.

[@rbeckwithusa]

Why on earth are the powers that be decommissioning such a potent and reliable weapon?

[@joeyfung-i]

Great question

[@nickolascaldarera7182]

Incompetence

[@gregrobertson5576]

Ultimately, the cost. The amount of money wrapped up in maintenance. If memory serves me correctly it costs 35k-70k in maintenance,fuel,etc. to keep it in the air for an hour

[@PapiShanks]

couple responses here but none tell the real reason, anti air MANPADS are becoming more prevalent with our enemies, and the A-10 Warthog is a low flying slow moving(in comparison to other jets) plane that can only do so much against a manpad. I don't believe the warthog is being entirely phased out but only being used for very specific situations/areas as it recently underwent a huge upgrade package.

[@rbeckwithusa]

@@gregrobertson5576 even so, what’s there to replace it? That thing is truly death from above…IMO, they EOL stuff so they can sell more expensive new stuff

[@jessebell1930]

As an Aussie Veteran I am so envious of you guys with the Warthog. Have always wanted to see it (especially in action)😍

[@frankcalabrese7074]

Grew up near the Air National Guard base, seen hundreds of C-130 Hercules, and A-10 Thunderbolts and/or Warthogs. So the A-10 has a special place in my heart 💜💜💜. Baltimore MD

[@BrianBurkett-xj7xd]

My son had a slot to fly and his whole ROTC contingent at VMI were told they were going Reapers. He was bummed but realized in today’s world, the Reaper is a lot more feared by the bad guys ‘cause ya can’t shoot what you can’t see considering the altitude and optics. Mad props to these ‘Hog drivers. Def balls of steel.

[@hunterbohman7555]

My dad works in aviation and we both have a huge interest in bad ass flying machines. I myself have been drawn to military jets and other aircrafts. By far, the A10 is my favorite. It's so cool to hear this guy talk about it having flown it in combat and taught others how to fly it.

[@trezndawg4240]

You would see this man and think he's the shift supervisor at Harbor Freight! Nice interview, Shawn 👊🏾🇺🇸👊🏾🇺🇸

[@mcjon77]

You can tell that this dude absolutely loved his job!

[@AdamB12]

If you hear the "brrrrt", then it wasnt meant for you!

[@frankcalabrese7074]

That's the truth. That's because the bullets are flying faster than the sound. Brrrrrt! Best sound since Rock-'n'-roll.😂😂😂

[@markchapman2585]

This pilot seems like such happy guy.I can listen to him for hours. I always love the A10. So dumb the government wants to get rid of them. People in office need to make more in their Investments.

[@scottmiller5398]

Outstanding! I'm a big fan of the A-10 myself. I was in the Air Force (75/79) and was at Davis Monthan AFB when the A-10s first came online. They were badass back then and still are today. Great vid.

[@wofwof007]

I've been a fan of the A-10 for a couple decades and I learned more from this video than a ton of other sources. Thank you Sean!

[@bobsanderz3005]

Living vicariously through this

[@john88benson]

Was driving the Kangamangus highway in NH last month and there was a three ship of Hogs doing terrain following training. They ripped right over the scenic outlook we had stopped at and made multiple passes. Super awesome. Though it makes you realize in real deal you get maybe a couple seconds of turbo fan scream before there is nothing left but hair, teeth and eyeballs.

[@geraldwest3428]

Kangamangus is a nice ride. I hit every summer.

[@geraldwest3428]

This dude is cool as hell, Shawn. Thanks for having him on the show!

[@brandonhill4921]

4:02 Love this, he’s passionate and advocating for his aircraft in a practical sense, enjoying these 🤙

[@gregmeadors9624]

I know a former A-10 pilot. He had some interesting stories to tell about his experiences in Afghanistan.

[@brentnorquist2682]

The gun on the A-10 sounds like a giant ripping apart a 1 inch sheet of steel.

[@QuestionEverythingLookDeeper]

Love your show Sean!

[@krist7697]

When I was a kid in the 80’s I used to love when we went to Myrtle beach sc and i would watch the a-10’s fly over head landing at the base there . I was in awe as a kid !

[@lehen1013]

I used to bunk at that base on the weekends when I came down from Camp LeJeune to party at Myrtle Beach. Always count on the Air Force for good chow and comfy beds. LOL.

[@AmericafromthegrindWolfe]

70 rounds per second. How the hell is that even possible?😮😮😮😮

[@richardhemenway7528]

Well there are 7 Barlells spinning in a circle just like the old Gatling gun.

[@SuperDiablo101]

Just look up the size of the gun vs ths size of a Volkswagen beetle...then you'll know

[@b-man1232]

I can relate. Flew a kite about 1-year ago...very windy day. Kite was out-of-control....string broke...crashed to the ground striking Bill (80-year old park worker)...grazed his left pinky finger. Crazy day...still have flash-backs, but I'm doing better and Bill's finger fully healed. Haven't flown a kite since, but who knows...if I get "the call", I might.

[@Leviticus-z7w]

Thank you sir for saving young men from politics bullshit!

[@lawndart188s]

How cool is that guy? Love his stories

[@jasontee5285]

First time seeing The Warthog in action in the Transformers desert scene the sound of that Gatlin gun was just pure awsome.

[@ahill7099]

i go to the air show here in Cleveland Ohio since a kid im 41 now..the A-10 hsas been the show stealer since day 1..i did get to see a stealth i think its the F-117 , fly by but always loves the warthog

[@CombatPIG0311]

I have A-10 gun runs on my gym playlist.

[@overlordisgoogle8431]

The A10 is an amazing platform for close air support!! So glad the Air Force kept it around. Just one of those 30MM barrels are hell aH heavy.

[@markefulton]

Shawn, great interview!

[@BlueBeeMCMLXI]

I worked in international fraud for an intense short period and during that met a USAF pilot. He described the jet he was training in, and how he controlled it. Modern war has taken a huge leap in technology - and this gentleman confirms why air war is the decider.

[@1RicoStunna]

Aim High brother! Appreciate your service.

[@christobaliancantu7112]

This awesome guy has a smile through most of the clip 😊

[@lordlink1]

Just heard an A10 flying over my head. Can’t mistake that signature screaming sound. I live near a base.

[@braidenmortland3127]

Dude is so happy

[@jDaniel5721]

Whoa even more powerful than I thought, scary.

[@patrickmchose7472]

Keep it up Shawn. Great content!!

[@GeorgeStarkes]

I really like this pilots vibe. Sure glad he's on our side💯

[@bubsmp]

Smells are one of the best reminders of deployment.

[@CliffordODell-zh6xc]

You got me.... subscribed!

[@Tylermaddox1911]

Always love these videos.

[@davidgioia3388]

Always the best interviews of people who were never on my podcast radar. True journalism no fluff.

[@red_five1542]

"We've got fish!"👍😂

[@gregoryh4601]

Sir and Shawn do you know the Air Force Generals retired 20 A10s from Fort Wayne,IN. Called the Blacksnakes ? So sad

[@FreedomPhukyeah]

A10s are my sons favourite aircraft, he watches this channel, he is 10yo. Keep fighting the good fight SR.

[@bryanfarmer1693]

Hell yea this is sooo cool the A-10 is my favorite war machine

[@redlabel9294]

Precision Attitude Control sounds just like a focus lock on a modern DSLR/mirrorless camera. Only WAY cooler!!! 😅

[@Quesoverga]

Now I need some halibut and salmon! Crazy how when youre at an officer level you can barter like that

[@DrFumblezMD]

The A-10 Demo team did a flyover when I swore in. Pilot was someone who looked too tall to fit in the cockpit.

[@GaryPatterson-c3h]

Dig the shit bros!!

[@markhenderson2896]

Love your show

[@Kojiros7th]

Try to get an Apache, Ziper or Littlebird pilot on the show

[@kevinfarmer8132]

This man is a national treasure

[@Ffs00911]

i fkn love this dude.

[@uniform375]

Him taking a giant wiffff is savage lol

[@rakersdownnz]

I wanna drink beer with this guy, for sure, 👍

[@josuenocelotl6559]

I love the way he casually describes depleted uranium rounds without a second thought 🤣🤣🤣 God bless America 🇺🇸

[@8limp182]

The British Army in the Gulf war realised how devastating the A10 was in the unfortunate blue on blue .

[@robertaBooey69]

It produces more thrust than the engine 10,000 vs 9000. It’s a gun with wings

[@brianmiller1098]

A-10 is a fantastic jet to crew

[@gregsteele806]

I heard the A-10 carries a greater bomb load than a Flying Fortress.

[@PrissyPatat]

The military is just bad ass.

[@HowieDewitt7575]

147k ft-lb of energy per round or 200 kilojoules is freakin insane energy from a 30mm cannon

[@kerrydarensbourg5557]

He got me at seven barrel gettling gun with wings❤.

[@DavidAllen-dk1ib]

Precision Attitude Control. 😊

[@JohnGalt-ry2hm]

It’s not going anywhere. Right tool for the right mission. F35s can’t replace it. Nothing can. It’s not going anywhere, if anything it’s getting continuously updated.

[@littlemoo52]

2:41 assess BDA (battle damage assessment). to the layman, look at what you just made into swiss cheese

[@michaelditto5469]

It should just be given to the Army. Then there is no need for the AF❤

[@reggielavoie5048]

Shawn posed the question wrong. Its what A10 does the weapons use?

[@daveaver]

Remember- the plane was basically designed around “dragons breath”. What a tool!

[@Noboxingnolife69]

Everyone keep in mind Julian Assange’s “Collateral Murder” video in mind when watching this and wonder how many other similar scenarios like this have happened with drone warfare

[@jonathancole6124]

7 seconds and the gun stalls the airplane

[@Randy4me]

Guns have airplane.

[@kaveman6143]

"Feels like a 20th century weapon" Because it is a 20th century weapon lol

[@561yungin8]

70 rnds a second thats insane

[@nephetsdrabbuh4482]

Awesome!!!

[@talkingrock7011]

Now if you only knew what the F22 carries and a gun also

[@lancelefler2820]

I'm flunking out the first week

[@maxpuppy96]

The bullets from the 30mm will hit the ground before the enemy can hear the jet or the gun.

[@thomasgreen1557]

That is absolutely terrifying

[@NoahBranch503]

1,174 rounds at 70 rounds a second is 16.77 seconds 😂 thats alot spicey meatballs😂🎉

[@jackwilliamson1929]

Don't like gleeful killers.

[@SharpGopher123]

@rbeckwithusa A-10 can’t survive in a near peer fight due to high threat SAM environments, as stated in the video

[@daveg5857]

What doesn't it carry? That's a shorter list.

[@justindeclemente1130]

BRAAAAAAP.

[@AquaStarman]

💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💥

[@gordonadams4793]

This guy gets it. The THRILL OF THE KILL. Hell ya

[@Portez77]

"Brrrrrrt"

[@chriswalker8378]

Saw one year's ago in the uk flying low & slow and was buzzed by a tornado both looking great

[@TuanTran-h5f]

Can only defeat Camel herders you guys

[@Teddy-tv7rq]

Hey Bubba! They are NOT decomposing the A-10! They recently rolled out the NEW one!

[@kenthayer6255]

AMMO HUAH!!!!!!

[@bluegillbum3165]

Ohh you say it slow 😂

[@troycassidy6177]

I don't understand why the Australian Defence force doesn't have A-10s they are so cool.

[@Bootchair]

Could of won the emu war with em

[@rogerdelillo2394]

Why would they cancel such a valuable platform?

[@ronjacobson5112]

Why did the defense depth choose to get rid of the A 10?

[@OGLD]

Keep the A10 flying
