Peaches sits down with legendary A-10 attack pilot "Won" Bier—and this one is equal parts war stories, aviation nerd-out, and straight-up calling BS on billion-dollar defense decisions.
Fresh off Operation Epic Fury, with A-10s once again doing what everybody swore other platforms could “totally replace,” Won breaks down what Sandy missions, combat search and rescue, and real close air support actually look like when people’s lives are on the line.
Then it gets spicy.
Why is the Air Force “saving” the A-10… with no real funding behind it? Why is AFSOC dropping billions on aircraft nobody asked for? And why do the people actually getting shot at still keep asking for the Hog?
Won doesn’t sugarcoat it—budgets, politics, ego, procurement… it’s all in the blast radius.
Bottom line: every time they try to kill the Hog… reality drags it right back into the fight.
