Reminds me of the day two Warthogs took great exception to us fishing within their Nomans exclusion zone. It had to be about the scariest thing I've ever seen. They performed a perfect two plane strafe run on our little boat and did everything short of pulling the trigger. As we ran like Hell towards the Vineyard they did open fire on the beach and it was a sound I'll never forget. Great fishing up until that point.

I think he is referring to two A-10 "Hogs" using the range at Noman's south of MV. The "Warthog" is a close support aircraft that can dish out (and take) a lot of damage. Not fast and sexy but slow and ugly. So slow, in fact, that they often take their bird strikes in the rear

Stripersnpr - looks like they would have been sniping some stripers had you not moved - in fact, you probably cost the tax payers 3 grand in gas for them to go around

I was buzzed once before by Luftwaffe Tornados and Phantoms when I was in Germany. Certainly got your attention

Thats exactly it John. When the first A-10 came by waving his wings in a non-threatening way I asked my father if they were telling us to leave. He said "no, you'll know if they want us to leave". He was right.

Who would be left to oppose western economic interests in the middle east after Iran and Syria were deposed? Can you imagine a scenario where China and Russa would go along with such a plan? Getting a little parinoid I guess.

Oh yeah John, "Warthogs", the flying bathtubs, you don't want to be on the business end of it. Like you say "close support" Nose mounted gatlig gun fires 30mm rounds close to 4000 per minute,fires Sidewinder and Maverick missels. Flys over 400mph but can fight, manuver and turn on a dime at 150.

Ya don't want to see them comin at ya flyin 300 ft over a tree line.
