For all you A-10 folks - in the last scene where they're firing on the tree line - explain the the sound pattern to me. There's an initial brrrrrrp followed quickly by a second different sounding brrrrrp. I used to do a lot of work at Camp Shelby in south MS and we'd hear this all the time. Asked different folks but got different answers so have never been sure. Initial brrrrp seems like gun firing but what is the second? Sound of rounds impacting, echo of the initial brrrrp????
Listening from the ground, near the impact area, one hears first: the impacts, then second the sound of the gun which is way off in the distance. Takes time for the sound to reach you.
I always thought it sounded like the roar of the monster in "Forbidden Planet"! Death is coming!

I can remember being given 4 quarters and going into the community bar and buying a pack for my dad. I was 7 years old.
Same here, I used to get them for my dad when we stopped at the beer joint. This machine has 35 cents on the slot and dad says it was the 60’s since he seen them that price.
 
Everybody is talking about the A-10???

Here's how the A-10 GAU-8's ammunition compartment is loaded... According to the comments, all this work is for just 17 seconds of continuous fire... ENJOY...



As someone who did a lot of misreps and cut a lot of hours of A-10 weapons videos I can tell you that 17 seconds means all the world for a lot of folks!

Ugliest plane I worked with but I still love that ugly bitch!

What would my Mom think of that?"

In a race, (see picture), athlete Abel Mutai representing Kenya, was just a few feet from the finish line, but he was confused with the signage & stopped thinking he had completed the race. The Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez was right behind him & realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't know Spanish didn't understand. Then the Spanish pushed him to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"

Ivan replied, "My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life".

The journalist insisted "But why did you let the Kenyan win?"

Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win".

The journalist insisted again, "But you could have won!"

Ivan looked at him & replied," But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?"

Values are transmitted from generation to generation.

What values are we teaching our children?

Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways & means to WIN

That's a Boise jet. I know the little blonde gal running the load crew. She's married to a kid that used to work for me, she's a sweetheart.
