I used to LOVE the CT ANG A-10 flyovers of our memorial day parade in town, I would get so pumped for that.
An A-10's close fly by is nothing if not memorable. One way or the other. I get a lot more nightmares about them, than I do good memories. They haven't been stationed in CT for many years now. The past few years budget issues under Obama, the concept of military flyovers nationwide was pretty much shelved. Never mind sporting events, memorial day and july 4th parade flyby's were scrapped for a while. They lifted that budget issue just this year. I know a guy who knows a guy, etc....about a pilot from the same Naugatuck valley that Arkeel comes from, that was psyched to be able to fly over CT again this year for memorial day. First time in a long time, and pilots love that . Seeing the crowds lined up for parades and stuff. Hopefully they get the same planes to come over Rentschler for at least one of the academy games in Sept. If not, that C-130 from Bradley buzzing by like a giant bumble bee would be cool too.
