We used to have some at the Base in New orleans. I think it was the ANG that had those. Then they traded them in for some F16's to do the same mission.
I didn't think an F-16 could do the job the Warthog does. They sound terrifying...but I'm always afraid they'll fall from the sky from going so slow.  |

Back when Plattsburgh AFB was open for business, it was not an unusual occurrence to be treated to a low level A10 flyover anywhere in the Adirondack High Peaks. They especially loved to scare the shit out of the skiers on Gore and Whiteface  Back in the early & mid 80s, they did the same thing in the Myrtle Beach area. It was awesome to see them come in low over the ocean. JM |

Man-o-man do they wail like a Banshee! My first unexpected flyover I almost pooped my pants from the shrieking.
Head to Tuscon.  |

If I were on the ground, on foot, in a HUMVEE, in a truck or in a tank, I'd be way more scared of an A-10 than an F-16. I used to work under the approach for the local reserve base, the C-17's would come in shrieking and going so slow it was ridonkulous. |

Yea, it's amazing what a slow flying C-17 or C-130 can do... They're slow but rather fierce.

It's a Mk2!!!  Even better... there was someone anal-retentive enough to scrutinize this for missing parts: http://www.coyoteblog.com/coyote_blog/2013/09/the-world-needs-obsessive-people-even-if-i-am-not-one-of-them.htmlLove the last line: This is exactly the guy I want in charge of the engine overhaul on the next aircraft I fly in. |
