Just a heads up. The History Channel will air a modern marvels episode on the A-10 this month! I have it on the highest authority that it will be Feb 27.

I was contacted by the producer about giving some "factoids" for the breaks between segment. I responed I would be happy to do so (last week) but never heard back...guess they found someone else.

O'well looking forward to seeing the episode and may have to pay close attention to the "factoids" to see what they found! <img src=newicons/saevil.gif border=0 align=middle>

awesome, i wish i had tivo to remember it for me my brain will never hold it for that long

Well maybe I messed-up here, I thought the trivia given between segments was called "factoids" but I watch MM last night and it didn't say that. Anyone know if that's what they were called before or am I confusing MM with another show?

Maybe that's why I never got a responce to my email, I called them factoids and it seems that's not what they are called...I bet they thought...what a dumba$$ and deleted my email!! <img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

You look as lost as a bastard child on Fathers day.

Bump...everything I've seen states 10:00 PM eastern and 8:00 here in Utha. Watched the promo last night and it looks like most of the gun footage came from the historical DVD, wonder where they got their copy?

Also saw the A-10 PIM (money man for the A-10) on it, you pilots may know him...Mumbles?

HMFIC

All I can say is F'in awesome, great show. Great quote from the aerodynamicist "An airplane you can fly into Hell and back." "Mumbles" was great too.

It was an awsome show! I was glad to see some recent footage instead of the same old stuff that has been shown on discovery for the past 12 years.!

Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant!

That was an OUTSTANDING show with a lot of historic footage!! A few minior mistakes on info but better that a lot (most) of shows I've seen on the Hog, the produces did their homework!



HMFIC

Great show, but boy they slaughtered Doogie's name!

Yes they did Coach and I will have to give Mumbles (A-10 PIM) a hard time about the Avenger scaring him comment!

HMFIC

NOOO!!! I missed it! Does anybody know when it's supposed to air again?

~Thud

I set the alarms in my house and all that junk, I was watching it in my room and i freaking fell asleep in the last 10 minutes, I have no idea how the hell that hapened...very upset w/ myself. What did they show during those last 10 minutes? Grrrr I should prolly have slept the night before

I was surfing and I immediately caught the beginning, not even knowing it was going to be on.
I liked it very much; it was very informative, though not much "kaboom" footage.



*The female A-10 pilot that they interviewed was kinda' cute.
