In this video, 3 of the most intense A-10 missions ever flown are presented…
Kim Campbell's hour-long fight to bring a crippled jet home on steel cables
Mike Hilkert's six-hour rescue over Kapisa, dodging nine surface-to-air missiles to shield a downed crew, and
Karl Marks killing 23 Iraqi tanks in a single day during Desert Storm
