A-10′s on the beach…

Well…after getting everything done today, I decided to hear out to the beach for a swim and some sun and the normal set up is to pour one beer into my Contego leak proof coffee cup and throw that in my cooler with my water bottle and some sunscreen and an ice pack…on the way out, I heard a loud pop and knew what that meant…the pressure had gotten too high in the cup and it had blown the top off it…luckily, I had zippered it shut so the beer shrapnel was contained inside and I had put a spare beer in so I had one to have at the beach for my swim…when I got my chair set up and comfortable, I heard a loud jet engine and couldn’t figure out how with the airport all the way on the other side of the city…so I looked to the south and saw two A-10 Warthogs coming up the shoreline over the lake at about 200 feet altitude…pretty cool but they were the nicest ones I’ve ever seen…not beat up at all and, since the last ones were made in the 80′s, that was just not right…they looked like they could have come off the line today so I wonder if they were rebuilt ones? Whatever they were, it was cool to see them flying in formation just off the beach…you never know what you’re going to see at the beach….
