Ok, I work in an office in Pearl River, La, just on the outskirts of the honey island swamp,and about once a week, at least a pair of warthogs fly over my office always heading northeast. I was hoping maybe someone around this area could possibly tell me where these awesome birds might be going and from where they might be coming. Just curious. Thanks |

Or they could be from Barksdale AFB in Shreveport LA. I'm not sure where the Honey Island Swamp is. |

Yep, those A-10s are most likely flying out of Belle Chasse NAS (Combined Forces) over on the west bank of the Mississippi River. I'm in Metairie, and also see them flying north-east over Lake Pontchartrain, heading right your way. As for where they're going, Camp Shelby up near Hattiesburg, Mississippi is to the north-east. I know that people have complained about heavy armor tearing up part of the nearby DeSoto National Forest. There might be a gunnery range up there that the A-10s utilize. |

Oh yeah.. I forgot there is a gun range at camp Shelby along with the howitzer range and all. In fact, there was a time I was camping at Paul B Johnson state park which is about 5 miles from camp Shelby and I saw a hog fly overhead, and I swear it was so low.. about maybe 100 feet from the tree line. Man, that was the closest look I've ever seen one of those things in the air. |
