There was a squadron of them at Grissoa Air Base several years ago. My brother’s farm was one of their practice runs; he said you could hear them buzzing around, but not see them. Next thing you knew, they hopped a tree line, made a “run” at his barn or tractor if it was out, and then disappeared over the next tree line.

He never knew which direction they were coming from.

They used to build A-10s at the Fairchild-Republic plant
up in Hagerstown, MD. The factory runway used to parallel
I-70 and occasionally I used to be able to see one take off or land as I was driving by.
