When I lived in Syracuse, NY there were some A10s being flown by the NY Air National Guard out of Hancock AFB. They would fly low and slow over the house. Believe me, even though I knew they were on training missions, they were Scary AF. If you know anything about what their combat capabilities are, then it is easy to understand why opposing ground forces never, ever want to hear A10s headed in their direction.
Thinking aloud.
