A-10 Warthog Demo Team Executed A Huge Flare Dump To End Its Air Show Season (Video)

 


With the Warthog demo team ending a very challenging season and its pilot wrapping up his tenure with the unit, some fireworks were in order! With a highly peculiar and challenging air show season wrapping up, the Air Force's tactical jet demonstration teams converged on Fort Lauderdale last week to mark the end of two of the four teams' seasons. 

For the F-22 Raptor and A-10 Warthog demo teams, this Florida show would be their last. We reported on the spectacular over-water photo flight featuring all four teams' jets that occurred late last week, now we have video of the A-10 demo team marking its last show of the season, and the last demo of its show pilot, Cody "ShIV" Wilton, by doing something exceptionally rare for a U.S. air show—dumping a bucket of flares at low altitude across show-center. 


WNU Editor: Now that is how you end an air-show season.
