Smoken D Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 A little fly by while I was out back this morning. I about fell over and started laughing. VID_20181004_104106956.mp4 VID_20181004_104140042.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorado Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Looked like a flying angel of merciful vengeance. I'd be more than happy to have that watching over me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Love the A-10. Interestingly, as I was leaving some continuing education today, there were F-16s flying in to land at Wright-Patterson. One of the attorneys was looking up and joking, saying it had been awhile since we'd had something like that flying, and asking if there was something we should know. I just looked at him and shook my head and said "Those are the Air Force Thunderbirds." He did a couple of double takes before saying "Oh..." I don't know if they were on their way to a show or from, but a pleasant surprise on an afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a flying tank! And the "bomber generals and the fighter plane generals" wanted to ground the A-10! God Bless those A-10 jocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pentagon wants to get rid of it because they're being influenced by backers of the crappy, insanely overpriced replacement (F-35). The A-10 has long since been bought & paid for so there's no money to be made fleecing us taxpayers for something shiny and new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
