a long time ago, I lived on a hill top near an AF base in Germany. A10's would take off and fly towards our barracks. it was kind of cool looking down at the cockpit before they would turn or pull up. I do have to admit, it was kinda unnerving sometimes, if the wind and weather were right 3 or 4 of them would fly over our kaserne and you couldn't hear them until they were right on top of you. made me spill a beer once. very cool CAS plane!
