Yesterday

I knew of them but I’d never (obviously) seen one. It was really low. Less than 250 feet I’d guess. Slow too. I’m guessing it was some sort of a training run. I remember we were in our tracks and out in the open. I told my Bradley Commander I could rip that thing apart. Of course it wasn’t firing either so…..

A guy I went to high school with went to the Air Force academy and then flew A10’s.
