Top 7 Badass Planes of the US Military

Generals: tries to retire A-10 A-10: haha gun go brrrrt

Who else is here due to going down a YouTube rabbit hole late at night ?

Actually something new I learned today about the F-35 is that the helmets the pilots wear permit them to see all their surroundings in infrared even through the aircraft where there is no glass; almost like x-ray vision. I found that cool because that's what allows the pilots to have such advanced awareness of the battlefield, and being able to see even through the aircraft where there isn't glass. Goes to show how advanced and sophisticated the F-35 is. My favorite fighter jet by far 🤩

I’m a 30 year airman. There are so many planes that I find fascinating. But the most excited I’ve ever been seeing an aircraft was the B-2. First time I saw one, I had just landed on a C-130 at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. It was about 1400, no clouds in the sky, just a gorgeous 80 degree day in paradise. Also, since I was still on the flightline waiting for a ride off the airfield, I had a perfect up close view. Then I seen it, coming around to land. It was so amazing seeing that flying wing for the first time. In 2nd place? I was at Hurlburt Field years later and I seen a package of 4 CV-22’s flying along the beach. That is an amazing looking aircraft, no doubt! B-1’s are amazing, too. At an air show at Dyess Air Force Base, a B-1 doing a low level pass, setting off a bunch of car alarms on the ground, that was something else!

If you hear the “brrrrrrrttttttttt” I can assure you, you weren’t the target

"When pigs fly" warthogs have been flying since 1977

You left out the fact that the C-130 has even landed and taken off from a carrier. The plane, and whoever was flying it that day, is amazing.

Respects to the pilots and crews operating all of them. No matter how advanced or low tech the equipment it's the skill and work of the operators that are the core of their effectiveness.

The Warthog is the most beautifully-purposeful aircraft ever.

Everybody be gangsta till America releases A-10 V2

The fact that the A-10 has saved so many soldiers as a low ground air-support, it makes me sad to hear that they want to retire it, it's personally my favorite plane ever made with that 70 RPS.

The A-10 & F-15 remind me of old hulking muscle cars of the sky. They're just cool to see and everyone wants to have one.

The A-10 also know as the "brrrrrrrt"

A10 will not be replaced for a VERY long time. I am glad that they were with us in sector during my 4 deployments to IRAQ

The men who flew these awesome planes and the men who kept them flying, I salute you for your service.

F-35 replace the A-10...LOL

THE A-10 WILL NEVER BE REPLACED LONG LIVE THE A-10

One of the greatest US AirForce jet was the SR71 BlackBird.

I loved the look of the F-15 when I was a kid 30+ years ago and still probably my favorite today. A-10 Warthog is a close second.

Absolutely the right choice to put the warthog as #1 in this video.
