Kinda like that one from the boys at DM. You know, with the van driving through the sand deploying "chaff" (field expedient variety I'm sure). That was a great video. Whatever you end up doing Dice, I'll buy a copy for sure.

We have one guy in our flight, he's a real peice of work. He's always falling asleep at work. He must have done in at least once or twice a week in Bagram, and of course he would deny it when he woke up. Well, alot of folks took pictures of him sleeping, and I am going to collect them all and make a slideshow of it playing the song "Mr. Sandman" in the background.

But as an A-10 video? Maybe a video to the song "I'm a Pilot" by Dos Gringos?

Maybe an idea for ultimate upgrade (C version) Warthog. You must think big and in future (2028, when Hawgs go out of service), that it became Stealth technoligy in the A-10c, first spaceflight with the Warthog.
Or you must think about the A-10 as a family car. Parked in front of your garagedoor and flying to the mall or supermarket. And when you step out, you came out with a paperbag of food.
Ok, both is overdone what ideas, but it is fantasy.
Another idea is for the C version. An update with a mugholder in it, radio (countrymusic on before flying), a lot of lights with no function (think about the sf cockpits of starwars).
And last but not least of idea, a dummy in that chair and one guy on the ground with radio controls.....yes I meant a drone version (use a little controller for the idiot effect).

So that was mine fantasy and fun idea, maybe you got an idea....or not.

Do a funny vid of the WHOLE WT and a-10 family

Start it out with "papa goose" dressed up as santa in his rocker, reading a story to the "Hoglets"

Then get crewdogs and fliers and various hud footage and weave a tale that includes actors from everywhere there's hogs.

Video cameras are in phones now........this is very doable i think, and would be FANTASTIC if done well.

So?

Santa Goose doesnt have his suit anymore BUT, I have pictures around here of Passing out presents etc.....
A little PhotoShop and it can happen.

Just have all the hoglets send you little video shorts of their daily antics filmed with their digital/phone cameras.

Once you get enough and you have some theme for the story....just splice it all up together, badabing.

Or you can come up with a story first and try to get volunteers to do various hog related scenes for ya.

LOL...

Nice idea Sniper, let me think on this one for a few days. <img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

I think it'd be great to get all the hoglets all around the world in on it.

Hell, this IS the information age. It's no harder than taking some vid on a video phone and hitting send or a digi cam and emailing the footage.
