| An a-10 is trying to located the enemy and tries to help guys out on the ground who (by the sound of it) are under heavy fire, it's such a good movie to show how confusing things can be from that height. The beeping you hear is the ground proximity warning (under 1000 ft).

Capt. Chris Petek describes the size of a 30mm round compared to the GAU-8/A "Avenger" 30mm cannon of the A-10 at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Nov. 29 2008. The cannon can fire up to 4,200 PGU-13 30mm high-explosive incendiary rounds per minute and is the backbone of the fighter's armament. Captain Petek is an A-10 pilot deployed from the 75th Fighter Squadron at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Samuel Morse)

That gun is so ferocious that it actually has the ability to send the aircraft backwards were it not for the forward thrust of the engines. I've seen when they go high order too, looked like someone stuffed a bunch of black broomsticks in the nose of the aircraft. IMO they're the most amazing non-stealth aircraft ever made, they can remain airborne until... well I don't know how fast but I've seen REAL slow until one was on the ground.

First time I saw an A-10 in action was back in the early 80's when I was stationed in Germany. To see one of those "light up" a hard target (old tank) was such a rush. We had a chance to check out the damage it cause the next day and all I can say is "I'm glad those are on our side".  |
