Read the caption before speculating... this was a voluntary practice thing. Didn't know you could volunteer for this... maybe I'll visit an MOA soon for a private airshow!

Wow, cool video, thanks rotty!

You can volunteer for an intercept?

*raises hand*

"Oooh!  Oooh! Pick me!"

*hand as high as muscles/bones/gravity/general laws of physics will allow*

"Pleeease!  Over here! Pick me!"

*falls out of chair, hand still raised*

"PIIIIICK MEEEEEE!"

Willow Grove NAS routinely flies A-10s by my airfield, and if you fly for too long off of runway 6, you've busted military airspace-perhaps I'll create my own intercept situation (joking of course )

That is the coolest thing I have seen in a long, long time.  Great find Rotty!

Thank one of the gang at the AOPA forums...

Now that was cool!

I was once used as a ground target by a flight of A-10's once whilst traversing across a field in a tractor.  ;D

Did you notice the comment about the 23mm gun? Actually, it's a 30mm.

Awesome Video!!!

 Just imagine what a couple rounds from the 30mm would do to a Cessna!!  Goodnight Irene!!!

LOVE THE GROVE!!!! i got a video of me flying over wings field in chopper 6  ;D was a few weeks ago. A-10's, C-9's, and C-130s routinely fly near my house in their extended final approach.

Cool! We've got a couple of news choppers based out of Wings (low fuel prices)

Nice, would volunteer for somethig like that...

Well considering WW2 footage of stronger planes being shredded by smaller shells... yeah ouch.

Yep... even without explosive rounds, that gun would slice up a Cessna like a hot knife through butter. It's like a fire hose of death.
On second thought, maybe I don't want one of these things near me in flight...

Cool video, I can imagine after that A10 driver got back, what his crew chief might be thinking about all the missing flares.

I remember I was backpacking many years ago, I got close to the summit of  a mountain and a sailplane pilot was giving us a show as he was catching some mountain updrafts.  He got so close, we could clearly see his face.
