Across the RI and CT shore, I have seen A-10s flying in pairs, apparently for homeland security. Anyone know why these planes are being used? Thanks |

More than likely what you're seeing are the Bradley CT A-10s on routine training hops. They often fly down to Warren Grove range in NJ, and you probably see them either coming or going. ATTACK! |

Concur, I don't think CAS is a NOBLE EAGLE mission, unless the Canadians try to invade with their Leopard C2's or the Mexicans in their five M8 Stuart SPG's! Cheers! M2 |

No, but they would be quite good for picking off rogue light aircraft<img src=newicons/anim_bs.gif border=0 align=middle> |

forget the aircraft down here in the louisiana swamps they would make great anti drug, and immigrant smuggling aircraft. Putting a little fear in the air would be a perfect way get these fools to reconsider their chosen professions. |

Just standard training. You probably just have not noticed until more recently because now more people are paying attention to aircraft that they never did before. There are 2 A-10 units that would use those routes or ones similair to that for their training missions. Then again, maybe they are just watching you. Smitty |

I have no Idea of what you speak Billy. The class is eating up social time I otherwise would probably be using to further pave my personal road to hell. I was gonna put in marble curbs but that seems to be put on temporary hold. ".....leave the bodies. The buzzards gotta eat too." Smitty |
