I saw them and they absolutely looked great.

A few decades back (gee, it used to be a few years back, time flies), I won a one-year tropical vacation in a US Government raffle. I got a fairly low draft number!!

I remember F4's flying support over us in Viet Nam and there was not a better sight in the world. We used to say: "Thank God they are ours."

I had a place a few years back in Lincoln and the A10's were very frequent visitors to the Loon Mtn. ski area. It seemed you could reach out and touch them at times when making runs down the hill. You would not hear them until they went past you, often scaring the heck out of those new the the Loon area. That was another great sight, with sound!
