Top 7 Badass Planes of the US Military 

Generals: tries to retire A-10 A-10: haha gun go brrrrt

Everybody be gangsta till America releases A-10 V2

Who else is here due to going down a RU-vid rabbit hole late at night ?

You left out the fact that the C-130 has even landed and taken off from a carrier. The plane, and whoever was flying it that day, is amazing.

If you hear the “brrrrrrrttttttttt” I can assure you, you weren’t the target

The A-10 also know as the "brrrrrrrt"

Actually something new I learned today about the F-35 is that the helmets the pilots wear permit them to see all their surroundings in infrared even through the aircraft where there is no glass; almost like x-ray vision. I found that cool because that's what allows the pilots to have such advanced awareness of the battlefield, and being able to see even through the aircraft where there isn't glass. Goes to show how advanced and sophisticated the F-35 is. My favorite fighter jet by far 🤩

Respects to the pilots and crews operating all of them. No matter how advanced or low tech the equipment it's the skill and work of the operators that are the core of their effectiveness.

The Warthog is the most beautifully-purposeful aircraft ever.

"When pigs fly" warthogs have been flying since 1977

The fact that the A-10 has saved so many soldiers as a low ground air-support, it makes me sad to hear that they want to retire it, it's personally my favorite plane ever made with that 70 RPS.

I’m a 30 year airman. There are so many planes that I find fascinating. But the most excited I’ve ever been seeing an aircraft was the B-2. First time I saw one, I had just landed on a C-130 at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. It was about 1400, no clouds in the sky, just a gorgeous 80 degree day in paradise. Also, since I was still on the flightline waiting for a ride off the airfield, I had a perfect up close view. Then I seen it, coming around to land. It was so amazing seeing that flying wing for the first time. In 2nd place? I was at Hurlburt Field years later and I seen a package of 4 CV-22’s flying along the beach. That is an amazing looking aircraft, no doubt! B-1’s are amazing, too. At an air show at Dyess Air Force Base, a B-1 doing a low level pass, setting off a bunch of car alarms on the ground, that was something else!

A10 will not be replaced for a VERY long time. I am glad that they were with us in sector during my 4 deployments to IRAQ

One of the greatest US AirForce jet was the SR71 BlackBird.

The A-10 & F-15 remind me of old hulking muscle cars of the sky. They're just cool to see and everyone wants to have one.

F-35 replace the A-10...LOL

THE A-10 WILL NEVER BE REPLACED LONG LIVE THE A-10

The A-10 is a legend among groundpounders. Long live the Warthog!

The men who flew these awesome planes and the men who kept them flying, I salute you for your service.

Support America!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

l go way back l am 77 years now....l was in the air war over nom...l always like to see your videos....Thank you....Carry on...!

B2: "Excuse me, may I cut in?"

I loved the look of the F-15 when I was a kid 30+ years ago and still probably my favorite today. A-10 Warthog is a close second.

The B1-B is still an incredibly intimidating beast. If you've never had the opportunity to see one in close they are an absolutely huge machine to behold. Don't even get me started on how they sound and their payload capabilities.

The A-10 Warthog has got to be one of the BEST low flying ground support aircraft in the world today.

Absolutely the right choice to put the warthog as #1 in this video.

The fact that you fail to include the F-16 makes one wonder how you came up with your list. The F-16 is undeniably one of the most successful fighter programs ever developed…with an impressive combat record and successfully used by the air forces of many nations. It is the go to dual role fighter of the USAF…over 70 air to air kills and the most numerous air to ground tactical strike platform in the US inventory…its beauty can’t be denied.

I love how the F22 raptor flashed its bomb bay at the camera, damn that's sexy

*SR-71 Blackbird:* am i a joke to you?

A10 was always my favorite, but the B1 is the most beautiful.

The B-1B actually was designed in the early 1960's , my father was part of the Special Weapons Project with the Defense Atomic Support Agency and was part of it and the XB-70 .

The taliban in their toyotas with their ak-47's when they see a super high tech futuristic rocket/jet flying towards them: 👁👄👁

"Blah blah blah words, let's look at the machinery" 😂

I still see warthogs in training everyday where i live. it's a beautiful machine.

I would love to hear from the pilots on what it's like to fly these planes.

The firepower of the A-10 is simply unrivalled

A-10 number 1, yeah! A-10 and B-52 will be in service for a long time.

Think the old Grumman F-14 Tomcat & Blackbird SR-7 both deserved to be on this list (IMHO)...Always loved their slick designs & unique capabilities.

Hi good morning from here and how are you doing today. Greetings from the royal family here in Dubai!

We all know that a-10 will forever be phenomenal for its performance and won’t be replaced for a while

How cool is it that 4 out of the top 7 are aircraft that are 40+ years old and still just as effective now as they have ever been.

this brought back so many memories of building some of the aircraft in model form.. love the warthog plane!! I also do love our new planes.. sigh.. my mind sucks now..

How’s the B2 not make this list? Ain’t we still flying those beauties?

My time spent working on the A-10 weapons system ('84 - '86) is something I'm very proud of.

“Blah blah blah words-let’s look at some machinery” Lol

This former Marine ground pounder has had experience with two of these aircraft. The C-130 delivered me to Iraq The A-10 delivered pain to my enemy.

Haven't seen any A-10's lately. They used to fly over my house on the regular. What an incredible sound.

The amount of men that are still alive due to the A-10... if you know, you know.

The A-10 is still my favorite! My first duty station in the Air Force was Bentwaters, UK, guarding A-10s!

I actually got to ride a variety of military aircraft. Huey, Chinook, Blackhawk, and took a c141 to Panama. I grew up almost exactly between two airforce bases so seeing planes going from one to the other wasn't rare. Looked up or morning and saw two B1s refueling overhead. Saw a B52 doing a below the radar flight outside town one day low enough that it looked like they were lucky that there's only 7 trees in the entire state. (I know they were high enough to clear any trees. But from the right distance it looks lower than it really is) But the coolest one was out in southwest South Dakota on a state highway that cut through a deep S shaped valley. From above this would look like taking a dollar sign ($) and turning the line that bisects the S 90°. I was on the downhill side of the valley and a B52 banked left to cross over the road right in front of me then banked right following the valley and vanished. I was probably doing near 100mph (that part of the state has more gophers than people so it's very lightly patrolled) and it briefly felt like i wasn't moving. The pilot waved to me as they crossed in front of me, which i found to be neighborly lol

Thanks for keeping A-10 at the top.

One of favorite US air force planes. My mom bought me one, the B1 Bomber. " monogram ", as a ten year old boy. Loved it then, still love it today. Great channel. Miss you mom.

I hadn't heard of the A-10 until I saw it on an episode of SEAL Team and the more I learn, the more I realise why it has survived so many attempts to retire it. Note: I'm from New Zealand and we don't hear about anyone's military aircrafts (including our own) unless it's the Hercules going on a humanitarian mission or unless one has crashed. If we want to learn about them, we have to watch RU-vid documentaries and clips

A great list! I would argue for the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, or 'Habu,' to be on it ⬛👹, one of the finest aircraft ever built.

Ever since I was a kid and a friend had the GI Joe Cobra plane I’ve always loved the A-10

Got an Arirfix Wart hog model as a 10 year old. Was years before I realised what an awesome aircraft it was. My father had left the British army by then and was fitting radios in aircraft in Saudi by then and kept getting me posters and pictures of jets but none touched my love for the A10. Great to see it still going and kicking ass.

I watched Puff the Magic Dragon in 67_68 in Vietnam..... Loved the fireworks...

I'll tell ya from personal experience the A10 has save many of us fighting on the ground. Love em

Good list. You got all of my favorites that are currently in service.

I love the SPOOKIE .. a serious plane that does extreme damage to ground targets,for sure

It so blows my mind away that when the pilot sitting inside for him he can see through the jet so for him he must feel like he is literally floating up in the sky that kind of technology is phenomenal and it must be such a surge of adrenaline to experience taking off and flying and also landing omg like a roller coaster ride and to get paid to have fun like that 🍾🥂

Love your videos! Keep up the good work!

I loved to watch A-10's when they were first deployed to Eielson AFB in the early 70's when I was just 15 yrs old

Dude!! Where the hell is the SR-71 Blackbird??!! The greatest plane ever made imo!!

Warthog will always be my favorite

The B52, is special to me. Growing up basically on the Air Force Academy. I was always in aww of seeing it on base

When you said "blah blah blah words" i laughed out loud on accident

North Korea: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!

I’d like to make a case for four aircraft as being the greatest American military aircraft of all time for the simple fact of their longevity and some still at the apex of their field. The C130, the B52, the F-15, and A-10 with a special mention to the KC-135.

This is one of there best videos yet! Excellent quality! Great job guys! Yall help me give me more motivation to join the military!

My grandpa worked for the engineering team of the B1. Edit: Thank you for the heart US Military News.

The first generation of the F-22 was called the F-22 greywolf. It actually had a zero G cockpit allowing pilots to maneuver much quicker and at higher speeds.

This guy's voice is awesome it makes his videos more interesting

A-10's are cool and all but, SR-71 ? F-117 ? F-18 ? B-2 ? F-16 ? F-14 ?

You know things are serious when the plane starts climbing up at 90 degrees

I liked the part where the airplane went "BRRRTTT!!!"

The -10 Warthog in the words of Ice cube,"KEEP IT GANGSTA DOG"

New technology makes everything possible, the one which let pilots looking through the aircraft is amazing. This could maximized vision while pilots are driving.

I got to work on some of those aircraft while in service and enjoyed the experience and their destructive power. The enemy forces who was in the area where the A-10 Thunderbolt was called in must have feared them and their firepower. The enemy didn't want to see the B-52H model coming either as they can carry so many different types of weapons and can wipe out targets and anything close to them quickly and efficiently too. The C-130's are another type of airplane which can be used for many uses and is still destructive to the enemy's troops on the ground and and deliver supplies for the forces.

When I saw the number one, I simply laughed however you made a terrific point of its capabilities and its versatility I can see why it is "bad-assed". From another angle, the term "bad-assed" is very much subject to interpretation which maybe why many people like myself would have chuckled at it.

May God protect you all. Our hearts are with you right where you are now.

My dad wrote the instructions on the brakes of the B-1B. Such a cool plane and awesome that he had a hand on one of the coolest planes ever made.

I freaking love the B-1

I'm ukrainian and I want live peacefully. The more I live in this world the more I see that power means everything

Love seeing the A-10 everyday from DMAFB

Loving all the Nellis Air Force Base footage!!

A-10: A plane built around a machine gun.

I remember in 70's an Iranian army pilot landed one of those C-130 safely with one engine only, after losing the other 3

F-15 Eagle, F--22 Raptor so good

When I saw the A-10 at number one It made my day. Words can’t describe how much I love that plane

Everyone Gangster, until F-35 rains its potatoes.

GOD BLESS YALL US MILITARY AND AMERICA !

I must say, this video is 100% accurate. Everyone of these ladies belongs on this list.

The beats in this video hit harder than those war planes. 🎶🔥

The loudest aircraft is the 🇺🇲B1-Lancer. My all time favorite air machine.

"Blah blah blah words let's see some incredible machinery" THANK YOU

I love the A-10 Thunderbolt (Warthog) aka Tank Buster!!

Great video. ☺️

I was pleasantly surprised to see the A-10 at #1, but really there's no other choice in a list of the most "badass" planes.

The A-10 and the P-51 are the only two aircraft that don't look silly with teeth.
