WART HOG A-10
Got to see one really close up during US Arm Forces Day event at Pope AFB.

But the B-1, when taking off, set off just about every car alarm for a 1/4 mile. JSOC windows rattled like they were going to fall out.

2 O' blunt-nosed beast of thundered skies,
Ungainly king where danger lies,
You do not glide with swanlike grace,
You snarl, and shake the battlefield’s face.

Your voice is not a song but wrath,
A rolling storm along the path,
That dreadful growl, that iron drum,
And every foe knows what has come.

Scarred guardian of the dust and flame,
Rugged, stubborn, proud of frame,
You are no beauty polished bright,
But an airborne angel armed for fight.

5 Got to see one just overhead at the men’s final of the US Open tennis back in the day- my neighbors in the stand didn’t seem to be nearly as enthusiastic about its capabilities as me.
