How Air Force Pilots Fly The Controversial $19 Million A-10 Warthog Boot Camp Insider Business

#BootCamp #AirForce #InsiderBusiness <br>The A-10 Thunderbolt II, nicknamed the Warthog, is the United States Air Force’s primary low-altitude close-air-support aircraft. It is the only Air Force aircraft produced specifically to support ground forces. It does this using the 30-millimeter Avenger Gatling gun mounted in its nose to clear the battlefield and create a safe path for US ground forces. Soldiers named it the Warthog because of its &quot;ugly&quot; appearance and the guttural sound created by the Avenger. <br> <br>The A-10 has been at the center of a debate within the US Armed Forces about whether or not the nearly 50-year-old aircraft should be retired in favor of the more modern F-35 Fighter Jet. <br> <br>Insider visited Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, to see how pilots are trained to fly the Warthog. <br> <br>MORE BOOT CAMP VIDEOS: <br>How Navy Sailors Train To Work On $2 Billion Submarines | Boot Camp | Insider Business <br> <br> <br> • How Navy Sailors ... <br>How Army Medics Are Trained To Save Lives In Combat | Boot Camp | Insider Business <br> <br> <br> • How Army Medics A... <br>How US Snipers, Tankers, Navy Sailors And More Are Trained | Boot Camp | Insider Business
