The A-10 doesn't have burners, but that gun does sound awfully cool! The
engines sound pretty neat, too, as they buzz rather then shriek like most
jets. We had them at Osan AB in Korea when I was there and I got to see
them on the gunnery range once. Most impressive!

I would have to say an A-10 "warthog" coming in for close ground support
with the 30mm vulican cannon blazing. Then hitting the afterburners on the
pull out.

Amazing, and I sure wouldn't want to be on the recieving end of the 30mm
cannon.

This came to mind when I heard a RAF VC-10K overflying my house at some
1000
feet AGL at full steam. What a sound! The VC-10 both looks and sounds
powerful. Also, the piston Yak-52 I heard a few days ago...unbelievable,
such a powerful and awe inspiring sound. The only thing I regret is
never
hearing a DC-6 at full throttle; watching a documentary on ConAir
firefighting services today (on Discovery Science) I heard one pilot
remark
that those 76 cylinders at full power sound 'like a Hell's Angels
funeral'.
