    That does look bad a**! When I was in the navy, in an FA-18C squadron, we went to Nellis AFB for training with the USAF, and I overheard some of our pilots talking about making the mistake of "picking on" the A-10s. The basic rule of thumb seemed to be 1) don't get in front of that plane. It's that gun... and 2) don't turn with an A-10, because it can make square turns...

    Great story Paul, yeah I would not want to be in the sights of A-10!

    Smoothie, those are great looking paints! Hopefully David will at least let you out for the Holidays! LOL!

    The scenery is in Iraq from Michael Carr. I know its at flightsim.com, probably at avsim also. The file name is mcdiraq.zip.

    You should be about 100yds away on the ground when that gun fires when coming in for a strafing run 75' off the deck....it sounds like the sky is ripping apart.

    Got to see it more than a few times at FLW's Cannon Range....

    That would be awesome. Or perhaps a bit too close for "awesome"... I've watched our FA-18s strafe targets towed behind the aircraft carrier with thier M61 20mm cannon. It sounds like this: "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp, whooooooooop"

    yeah the A-10 firing is a great sight and sound... witnessed it in Afghanistan, sends a shiver down you and makes you wish the GAU-8A was man-portable

    On our FTX at Ft. Sill, us gun bunnies had a couple MLRS go off over our heads about 1.5mi away - loudest damn thing I've ever heard.

    heh. even if its too close, its the most beautiful sound in the world, cuz usually it means you can sleep safely that night.. When i was in nam, we could hear shadows four miniguns firing from over five miles away, it was like the worlds loudest buzz saw, and we all loved it..

    The only problem with those pictures is anyone looking at it can't hear it. They really got the engine sounds right on this, as it has that sort of "buzzing" sound the high bypass TF's make replicated very well. I'm assuming they used actual recordings, just saying.

    USAF Eielson AFB, just about 20 miles east of Fairbanks had A-10 aircraft for years but now all have gone to other bases. There may be some paints of these aircraft in winter.

    The A-10 has been a personal favourite of mine ever since seeing a pair of Euro1 Spangdahlem based hawgs display at a local air show.
