Versatility of the A-10 Warthog and its Load Outs

Commanders in the field love the A-10 Warthog, and until a replacement aircraft is fielded, we should never retire it! The Hawgs carry so much ordnance, like 16 GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs. One Hawg released 45 of them over the Straits. The GBU-54 Laser JDAM is a weapon of choice because you can release it satellite-guided or laser-guided for precision and accuracy. But the coolest thing on the Hawg is the GAU-8. I don’t know who took this photo, as no name was given. The photo captures the shock wave of the projectxle exiting and the the projectxle’s shock wave as it moves out! #aviation #avgeek #military #airforce #army #navy #usmc #pilot #pilotlife #flight #flying #fly #aircraft #airplane #plane #jet #airport #photo #photography #video #videoviral #viralvideos #lessonsfromthecockpit #podcast #show
