Went on a "leaf peeping"tour through central Michigan and wound up at Hartwick Pines State Park.
As I was exiting the vehicle, I heard a strange sound from a distance. listening more closely, I heard the distinct " Bwooopppp" of an A 10 Warthog at nearby Camp Grayling. A lot of tax payer dollars went down range in a few seconds. They must be on high alert.

Lots of recent discussion online here of afterburner roar being heard low level.

Oh, I'm familiar with it. One lighting off directly overhead at treetop level that you didn't hear coming will leave a stain in your drawers, lol.

I was one of the lucky few that got to play with 2ACR digging ditches at Hohenfels and Wildflecken.

My Deer Hunting cabin is just south of Ft Leanord Wood and I can hear that all the time.

I was watching some sort of military historian's YouTube videos and he described the A-10 designers approach as "Let's first build a cannon that nothing could survive and then engineer a plane around it!" I couldn't quit laughing.

I'm told the A-10 is so slow basically no other aircraft in existence can fill its shoes.

Build the plane around the gun, then armour the flying eff out of it.
It took me a loooong time to finally procure a shell with a projectile. You guys can get em down there, but not here and I’d have to smuggle it across. After 3 years of poking once or twice a month, a guy in Montreal sold me his last one. $130CA.
