Do you actually think a soldier would fire on an American Citizen? Law enforcer maybe, but not a soldier. They fight and die for what we believe in.

ollie Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Love me some Warthogs! They are cool and your right you can hear them before you see them. They were also made to be interchangeable in that both wings can fit on either side. I watched a youtube video on one were it got hit by enemy fire and was tore up, but was still able to limp back home without the pilot even getting a scratch. "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!
Fish24/7 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 i've been in their cross hairs before while running wot in a bass boat on Bull! i let off the gas and yanked the kill switch thinking my motor was about to blow, but it was just the sound of those jet engines approaching from behind me A pair of them did what I'd describe as a "swoop and dive" from behind. Scared the crap out of me, blew the hat right off my head, He got so close I could see the "thumb's up" the pilot was giving me as he buzzed by! . A few seconds later his buddy came out of nowhere ,flying sideways, and buzzed by me too Felt like i was their target practice ollie, ness and J-Doc 3

Members jfly Posted May 14, 2015 Members Posted May 14, 2015 I'm a weapons loader on the A-10's at Whiteman. We will be hosting a free airshow here the weekend of June 13-14. Come on out get an up close and personal look if you want. The Air Force Thunderbirds will be here as well along with numerous other aircraft.
