Warthogs???

I was in FIST with the Oregon National Guard for a while.  We did our 2 weeks at the Yakima Firing Range.  One day they flew an A-10 in over us.  It opened up with the Gatling gun, the whole aircraft came to a stop in mid air and hung there on the recoil of those 30mm rounds.  To say I was impressed is an understatement!   :o :o :o
