Description
I am awed by my destructive power With a small squeeze of the gun trigger under my right index finger I can rip the turret off a thirtyton battle tank and throw it 200 feet across the desert while the rest of the tank burns in an explosion of whitehot burning phosphorescence But the cold morbid reality of it does not exist from where I sit and watch it happen Theres no dramatic chord No deafening explosion No screams suddenly stifled The soundtrack of a pilots war is mostly silent
The mighty iconic A10 Warthog was first thrust into battle in Operation Desert Storm The men who took it through walls of flak and surfacetoair missiles to help defeat the worlds fourthlargest army were as untested as their airplanes so they relied on personal determination and the amazing A10 to accomplish their missions despite the odds
Hogs in the Sand is the epic and deeplypersonal yearlong journey of one of those pilots as he fights an increasingly terrifying war all the while attempting to win over a woman and keep control of his internal demons For anyone who has admired the Warthog seen it in action or called upon it to be their salvation this story will fulfill a desire to virtually strap into the cockpit while gaining unprecedented understanding of the mind of a modern combat pilot
