What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

>I don't know that, but the spot on I-93 where the border patrol does its' annual stops is a lightly traveled area at that time.

It is also on the edge of a military aircraft low level training area.

I have encountered A10s there flying below me.

Now if border patrol and the USAF could coordinate operations, they could put on a really fun show.

Scenario: "Ok Mr. drug smuggler or illegal alien, we're going to let you go.

"All you have to do is make it past that guy".

A 10 gets a live fire training mission.

I live where a highvoltage transmission line crosses my property.

A few years ago; for a few years; every Friday afternoon a couple of A-10s would roar overhead just a few yards away from the power lines; following them.

I never did figure out what they were up to. Some kind of training I guess.
