I fully agree with your statement. But I would also love to throw in the EA-6B Prowler. That plane is beautiful too.

They used to test flight them over my town out of Hagerstown. I remember when they stopped.

The P3’s, A-10’s, A4’ and NAS Willow Grove are gone.

Same with the Fort Wayne IN. airport. Part of the airport is for military use. When I visit my mom who lives right down the road from there, you often see/hear several A-10s flying around. And when flying out of the airport yourself, you may be lucky enough to roll by them when getting to the runway. It’s awesome!…

We are about 30 miles or so as the crow flys from the munitions range for Mountain Home AFB. See F-15s at least once a month, A-10s every now and then and all manner or combat helicopters.

It traveled through time... at the speed of time! So it’s technically a time travel machine, just not a very efficient one. :-P

Yup. I live near Barksdale AFB and not only do I see A-10’s semi-daily. I see the B52 pretty much everyday and have seen a B-1 and B-2 as well. Very cool.

I used to work summers in east Texas, just over the Louisiana border from Barksdale AFB, and we used to see these fly all the time. Kind of spooky when you're nailing up a board fence and one of the comes out of nowhere.

another yo here...the F-4 Phantom II is my all time favorite.

Back in the mid 70’s, I used to drive cab in a Chicago suburb. I used to have a regular who worked a window at one of the Chicago horse racing tracks, and while he never tipped me, he always paid me in Silver Certificate bills. I wished I had kept them instead of just spending them like regular money.

F4 is my all time favorite.

As one Philadelphia-area guy to another... yo. :)

I never understood why people called the A-10 ugly. And yet.

I’ve had peanut butter on a burger. And a few time I have sliced up some chicken breast for a sandwich and added pb to the bread.

Needs more cowbell.

“Imagine using your teeth to pop the biggest zit ever. Yep. It pops.”

You could liken the sensation to a cherry tomato only it doesn’t taste like a tomato at all.

Just like riding a motorcycle!

“Ever popped a live grub in your mouth and tried to swallow it? Nope. You gots to chew that sucker first, son. And you know what happens when you bite into a live grub? Imagine using your teeth to pop the biggest zit ever. Yep. It pops.”

..annnnnnd this is why I’ll be starving to death.

Also, I broke one Kindle by not realizing how tender it is and just stuffing it in my backpack unprotected. I have yet to break a print book.

*nods* Yes. Yes, it does. *shudder*
