In case someone is wondering what this is about without first having to go off and watch a video: it's not about Southwest Airlines, or any particular birds of prey common to Maryland, or large mosquitos, killer bees, white faced hornets, or anything else. It's about the A-10. Not sure why it's a "Central Maryland" topic, though. The MD ANG does have some, so maybe that's the connection?

If you knew your Maryland and A-10 history, you would know that the birthplace of the GAU-30 was Hunt Valley, Maryland and the birthplace of the A-10 is Hagerstown, Maryland

So show some respect to BigCity in celebrating Central Maryland as the Birthplace of the greatest Flying Gun that spells FREEDOM one "BBBRRRAAAAPPPPTTTT" at a time.

Now Drop and give BigCity 20 ! Then 1 more for the A10, 1 for the 175th MD Air Guard and 1 for Hagerstown

Yep, built in Hagerstown for a long time!

If you knew your Maryland and A-10 history ...

See, instead of a blind link with no info or context, THAT is the sort of good stuff that should have appeared in the OP!

To anyone wondering how to insert a YouTube segment, click on my post #3 and compare what I posted to what the OP posted. It ain't rocket surgery...

 

[ToBeFree]

Thanks OP. That was great.

Funny that as soon as I read the title I almost knew the thread was about the A-10.

I see two A10's or more flying over southern maryland almost every day. I wonder who else has them besides the ANG?

 

[putneyswope]

Lou45 used to fly the A-10 with the 175th ANG.

 

[John from MD]

Lou45 used to fly the A-10 with the 175th ANG.

Now that I have never heard and I heard a lot of stories about Lou.

I see them often flying over my house on approach to Martins.
Low and slow enough I can hear the whine of the hydraulics. They always take off and land In Pairs from what I see from the house.
Love watching them fly over

*****Hopefully not BLM/Antifa.

The A-10 is the honeybadger of the skies. Truly badass

 

[ohen cepel]

Was always nice when them or the Little Birds were in the air in OEF. Very different, I know, but those 2 keeps things real calm.

 

[Pinecone]

Lou45 used to fly the A-10 with the 175th ANG.

So did Pinecone.

I did not hear that until after he passed.

I would have loved to trade stories with him.

What was Lou's last name?

Thought the same thing!
