Is it true that that gun errrr cannon slows the plane when firing?

The afb in town was a10's up until they closed Otis air force base on the cape, then we got the f15's. Not sure where all our hogs went . We are the 104th

@shepp.....there was one design flaw on this beast.  Look at your picture on the prior page.  All the gun gas goes into the motors.  After so many rounds are fired, the engines start to lack full power.  Crew Chiefs would perform engine water washes to  clean the compressor and fan blades.

 

@edgecrusher....I was TDY at Barnes in Massachusetts when I was sent TDY from Germany to Vegas.  Our Squadron did a pit stop there.  I believe that was the 104th.  I know they had A10s there in the middle 90's.

Lived here all my life, we've had them up until very recently.

hardly a day goes by I don't see those beautiful pigs dancing around base. my drive home from work takes me directly under the landing approach. sometimes I try to time it just right so that they come out of the bank and drop right toward my car, and try to imagine how scary it would be to be a bad guy.

That 6560 grain 30mm bullet makes a .308 seem like a BB.
