Man I wished they would come up by the Denton area. I would love to see them flying around.

Seen them a few months ago in the Hebron area flying LOW. Was fun to watch.

Appreciate the heads up. A while back my family was camping in a valley on that aircraft carrier called the United Kingdom. I was up at dawn cooking breakfast when I saw two dots appear on the horizon way down the valley. In seconds two Warthogs flew directly over me at what seemed to be about 50 feet, but was probably more like 500 feet. Up at the other end of the valley was a range they were heading toward to expend a little ordnance. No wonder the camp site was cheap! Keep 'em flyin'.

no sonic booms since they can't go supersonic but others with them may

That sounds like it would be neat to see (and hear...and feel). Many many years ago I got to experience the Blue Angels practicing overhead, which would have been really awesome except for the fact that I was at a horse show. The horses really didn't appreciate the opportunity so much.

Cool. I wonder where the best places to watch will be.

we have them fly REAL low over deal island all the time. Fun to watch, makes me want to make my next model an A10

If you hear booms from an A-10, you have more to worry about than broken windows

Blaster229 · Apr 10, 2015

This is cool but everyone is worrying about Military Spec ops on the ground in several cities throughout Texas. okie dokie :innocent0

A10s used to practice bombing runs at turkey Point up here. I used to love watching that. I don't see them much except when theyre en route somewhere.
Before the gulf war they would fly straight and level and 500-1000 ft or so. After the war, they were flying between the telephone poles!

VNVGUNNER · Apr 15, 2015

The last few days they have been busy over our house in hebron.

I think they stopped that around 95 or 96 we use to fish all around that place.

Cheesehead · Apr 16, 2015

Just so this doesn't happen again. Not far from my range.

That sucks! As long as it wasn't a frequent, annoying occurrence, I would welcome a free air show over my neighborhood.

VNVGUNNER · Apr 16, 2015

We live in the PAX River restricted air space over here. It hardly ever stops.

They still do, although its been quieter over the past few weeks. Love seeing them in formation usually 2 as many as 6, flying under 1000ft. Still hate that they're being phased out when everyone who's either been on their side or against has the same respect for the machine. It's the only plane that instills fear into enemies thru intimidation and force.
