This GoPro video will transform you into a crew chief of an A-10 Warthog
The following footage was produced by 74th and 75th AMU (Aircraft Maintenance Unit) for the Hawg Smoke 2016 crew chief launch competition.
Scored off of strafing, high-altitude dive-bombing, low-angle high-delivery, Maverick missile precision, and crew chief activities, Hawg Smoke is a biannual competition that gathered 13 teams, flying 48 A-10Cs, between Jun. 2-4, at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona.
The clip below shows a "Hog" with the 74th Fighter Squadron at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, being prepared for launch from the crew chief point of view.
Ignore the gifs. Look for the video below them. I think the music choice was excellent. :-)
