I was at the Willowgrove Naval Air Station when that A-10 crashed about a half mile from the airport on a residential street. The pilot rode the plane deadstick until he could line it up with the street and ejected about 100' AGL. It took out parked cars and nobody was hurt.

We have damned good pilots, amazingly committed to the public's safety over their own.

When was that? I used to see the A-10s flying almost every day from there, until Iraq 1. Near and dear.

I used to watch the A-10s from Willowgrove target practice at Warren Grove in the Jersey pines. Back then there were F-4s and 1-11s too.
