Those are A10S tank-busters from somewhere which use the mountainous terrain of New Hampshire for training. I have seen them in a team of two, over Lake Winnipesaukee, and over the White Mountain National Forest, a number of times. Doing fly-byes at ski area lifts and releasing silver beach balls as two A10's do aerobatics close to the tree tops. Nothing like the old yellow biplane that does aerobatics over the lake....
Low flying and slow, I read somewhere it is has a tank-killer cannon that shoots large bullets made of depleted uranium: one shot can destroy a big armored tank by burning it from the inside out.
Could be put to serious good use destroying Russian tanks in Georgia, tonight, with Lt Cmdr McCain on the stick.
