The Inner Thoughts of an A-10 Warthog

Do you ever find yourself wondering what the A-10 Warthog is thinking about while it's in flight? Well, we have the answer for you right here in this video.


There is not enough time in the world to say all of the good things there is to say about the A-10. It is a purpose built platform that enables ground troops through direct close air support on a level that is unmatched by every other platform on the planet. And, unlike the F-35, the A-10 doesn't have a helmet that costs half a million dollars to make. The pilot can also still wear his helmet if he doesn't get a haircut for a few days.


In fact, the A-10 platform is superior to the F-35 in every single way when you start looking at it from a budget perspective. It might not be as pretty as the F-35. It might not be as modular, or adaptable either. It also might not be some psuedo-stealth machine meticulously hand-crafted to win fights in about seven bazillion different ways, but you know what damn it? It accomplishes its mission pretty damn well. In fact, for the low-low price of 26 F-35 helmets (just the helmet), you can get a brand new A-10 to support ground operations.


By the way, I'm not joking. The cost of an F-35 fighter pilot's helmet is about half a million USD, and it is rendered non-functional if the pilot's barber messes up his haircut.
