A troop sitting on the deck after a gun-fight with the Taliban records an A-10 doing an incredibly low fly-by over his position. You've never in your life felt this safe.

The safest you'll ever feel in a gunfight is the moment air comes on station to start dropping hate in support of your side of the fight. Multiply that by about one thousand when the particular airframe that comes on station to support you is the A-10 Warthog.

When the main gun on the Warthog opens fire, it sounds like the gates of hell itself are being ripped open and the Doom Slayer is walking onto the battlefield to rip and tear his way through your enemy.

And, you know what? That can make you feel pretty damn safe.
