I would have to say yes...that's why I've posted a few times to try & set them straight....I love when people who have no aviation background try to talk like they know what is going on...one guy kept talking about the A-10s Vulcan cannon...I quickly corrected him on that...

The part where there were no markings...hahaha...that's so adorable isn't it. Are they expecting a big license plate or something? Smitty |

Could it have something to do with the two A-10's that flew over the Binghamton Airshow last Sunday? I was there! It was sweet! Only problems were the excessive amount of F/A-18's (5 or 6 of them) and the Jet demonstration was a Lawndart and not something fun like an F-15 or an A-10. But towards the end the Lawndart teamed up with a P-51 Mustang. They looked pretty cool flying together. "Retreat, hell!

No prob. It was amazing. These two prob-jobs go through there aerobatic job, and all of a sudden two silent, angels of Death (Yes, I'm referring to the Hawgs) come right down the runway. It was the sweetest picture I've ever seen with my own two eyes. "Retreat, hell! We just got here!"-Captain Lloyd Williams, 2nd Marine Division, Belleau Wood, France, WWI |

I don't even know how they pulled it off, cuz even the announcer was sort of surprised. He was expecting them, saying there were gonna be two Hawgs later on in the show. He started telling us all about them, when all of a sudden there's literally silence, and the two Hawg's just fly right over. Once they get out of sight people started cheering and clapping like mad.
