Almost got shot by one of those a couple of time, once in Grafenwoehr doing controls when one had a bent barrel throwing rounds a few hundred feet into the trees beside us and once when directing he fired and had rounds a few dozen feet directly above.The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft. It has been nicknamed the Warthog. The A-10's primary built-in weapon is the 30×173 mm GAU-8/A Avenger autocannon with a firing rate of 3900 rounds per minute. Designed for ground support and anti-tank duties.
Good neighborhood over watch aircraft.
