I've seen live fire demonstrations of the A-10 when it was first placed in service.
Awesome :O
After all it's a plane built around I believe a 30mm Gatling gun.
Tom Clancy in his book "Red Storm Rising," had a Russian General dub them
"The Devil's Cross."
If you're enemy armor and an A-10 appears, your day just took a turn for the worst.
It was always comforting to know they were on our side.

I heard from an inside source that the building was actually a pre-school for disabled children.

Well, the ammo depends on the mission and sometimes the pilot. The majority of the times the, "party-mix" is used. The party-mix includes a ratio of 1AP:2HE rounds.

Honestly TwentyFo, are you even American? :huh
You never say a damn thing nice about America, or it's Military. An "inside source" is bogus. I could say myself, "I heard from an inside source that TwentyFo is a child molesting pedophile" but I don't.
I honestly used to think you were a pretty cool person. I didn't care about your political thoughts, or what you thought, but this has honestly gone over the line, I just lost all respect for you as a member of the Lynchmob and the AHII Community.

WHile all the front line fighters are nice, given my choice i would rather have a ride in one of these than anything else. I have always loved that plane. She actually sounds like shes growling when they let loose with that cannon, Great post ty :salute

When you absolutely, positively need something killed, USAF, accept no substitutes. :salute :rock

Makes it easier for the A-10 pilot, doesn't have to lead them so much.
ack-ack

<ahem> actually, if you want it killed with the 30mmGG then it is USAF-R. we now return you to your regularly scheduled waste of company time.

I had the rare opportunity to see one of these bad boys do it's business on an Iraqi tank in the first Gulf War. I was a 13F (Forward Obsever) in the good ol' days and caused or witnessed a fair share of destruction, but never have I seen and have yet to see again anything dismantled so brutally.
We were told that the A-10 pilots had to see a shrink after sorties because of the up close and personal nature of their work. Don't know how true that was. Never had a chance to ask one.
