The one thing no one mentions the sound those twin engines make. They will scare the SH*T out of you so I am told.

They're actually reasonably quiet as the plane comes up on you, but once it passes over you, they're OMG-LOUD!

There were some stationed at Richards-Gebaur AFB in Belton, MO (just south of KCMO) some years ago (I believe they've been moved to Whiteman AFB.) One day I was riding my Kawasaki 550 down 71 Highway, going towards KC with no traffic on the road, and all of a sudden, I hear all heck break loose! An A-10 buzzed me at about 50', nearly knocking me off the highway!
