Fighter Jet Pilot Reveals Plane That Tears Terrorists To Shreds

Published|Updated

You don't want to end up on the business end of an A-10.

The A-10 is an incredible aircraft that carries the GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling gun. The joke in the military is that it's simply a massive gun with a joystick.

It's known for tearing up bad guys, taking out armor and just being an all-around incredible piece of machinery. Former F-16 pilot Jason Cooper spoke with me on American Joyride about a bunch of different topics, and we obviously had to take a few moments to praise the A-10.

You can watch us discuss the A-10 and how badass it is starting around 25:00. Make sure to hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
