Don't flinch now!

I love the A10, got to sit in one when I was little. Loved them ever since.

Fun jets- What's more freaky is being on 395 around Norwich CT and have one buzz you. I love seeing them fly though, almost like a jet version of the P-38.

I would have had a Code brown Violation if that flew that low above me... looks like you could have jumped up and touched it

I'm quite the fan of that quote.

Love that clip... there are some good ones on youtube. I remember a vacation at Avon Park bombing range many years ago (I think it was Avon Park, anyway); we would be out on the lake fishing as the A-10's made strafing runs just off to the side of us. Pretty cool for a kid who dreamed of growing up to fly Warthogs!

Those spitfires were (and still are) incredible planes.
On a side note, the Blue Angels will be here this summer, it'll be wild to see their show. I saw them in the mid 80s I think at NAS Brunswick, it could have been Bangor though. I just remember having to park about three miles out and they were doing a few demos, including a low high speed run right over the extended parking area.

Years ago I was on the top of Mt. Mansfield in VT while the Nat. Guard was doing training- some hot dog came up the valley from Stowe (we were looking down at the top of the jet) and came up the side of the mountain, doing a roll so as he went over the top he was upside down.
Wise**s was so close you could see he had no face mask on and had blue eyes.

Farmers near Grissom AFB tell stories on A-10's popping up over their barns, doing a tight circle over their tractors, waving, and heading along their merry way. Similar comments, too, about noting the color of their eyes. Talk about a startling moment!

Sadly A-10s, Chinooks, Hueys and C-5s are about the only military hardware you see flying over CT.

When I was working security at Thames Shipyard in NL, I got a few good surprises. The first was an fighter going down the river at about 50', under the bridge and over the railroad bridge at about 5:30am. The second was some sort of ceremony at the Coast Guard academy, two choppers in formation with a private jet at about 100' right over my guard shack. That was one of the loudest things I have ever heard, and the choppers kicked up a bunch of dust in the shipyard lot.
