Watch what it's like to be the target of an A-10

The A-10 Thunderbolt II, known as the Warthog, is popular — very popular.

It's especially popular with ground troops, as the Warthog provides them with close air support when they're pinned down or in a pickle.

A-10 pilots are often considered different than other combat pilots, with a perspective more like the ground forces they so often protect.

It's why they've been referred to as "grunts in the sky."

In honor of the grunts in the sky, we've compiled seven short videos of the A-10 doing what it does best, whether in training or real-world scenarios.
