Out of all of the military aircrafts in existence, the A-10C 'Warthog' has become popular enough to achieve legendary status. The A-10C 'Warthog's' GAU-8 Avenger Gatling-type autocannon has been used in warzones in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. That's why the US Air National Guard released a video of a pilot in the cockpit of the A-10C ' Warthog' to give non-military personnel the chance to experience what it's like to fly it.
One of the most epic drag races ever took place at the 2017 MAKS Air Show in Russia on Saturday - pitting a MIG-29UB fighter jet against a Formula 1 race car. The Formula 1 vehicle took the lead in the beginning but the MIG's engines warmed up quickly and the jet quickly overtook the race car before going airborn. The action took place on the grounds of the Zhukovsky airfield outside Moscow, and featured some of the world's fastest four-wheeled vehicles racing different aircraft on the race track in a mini event called the Festival of Speed.
