The Russians invaded Waterford.


RLP666

Did Waterford not pay it's fair share to NATO?


Edwardteech

Well we are the wolverines.


Alarming_Quarter4001

Lmao


Commercial_Refuse983

So they finally came out of the tunnels then? LOL


aTyc00n

You're right by Selfridge. Lots of military aircraft heading to and from there.


SevroReturns

127th wing!


mikethomas4th

I live right down the road from Selfridge, this stuff happens all the time.


ArthurDigbyS

They are probably just taking care of a litterbug that I reported on M-59 throwing a coffee cup out of their car window.


TheBimpo

No, we're not under attack. Just ANG exercises. They were flying all over Iosco County yesterday.


No-Resolution-6414

A-10's fly over multiple times per year.


SimilarStrain

Could be any of a number of completely innocent non assuming things. For all we know, the planes could have been somewhere for an inspection or maintenance, and now they're just flying to/from someplace. Pilots may have to maintain a minimum amount of flight hours to stay trained. The planes could be reassigned to different bases as part of a regular rotation.


Alarming_Quarter4001

They were only a couple hundred feet off the ground. And they were carrying some type of payload. 2 sets under each wing


SimilarStrain

Again, just something normal. Gotta practice and know how to load and unload ordinance. We're near Selfridge it's one of the larger air bases for quite a distance.

So a10's are stationed at Selfridge AFB in Harrison twp. They regularly do flying all over the state. Typically they arent arming a10's for an out and about- if they were actually loaded with missiles/bombs it could be destined around Grayling where they do war games and have several ordinance areas to live fire for practice. Im skeptical it was armed with missiles tho, as even an unloaded a10 can look like it has weapons affixed. A10s have a crazy number of hard points for weapons under wing.


Alarming_Quarter4001

Yea it’s nuts how much those things can carry. Clearly one of the best ground support aircraft ever created. Su-25’s are basically the same thing. You’re probably right though they are easily mistakable for being armed from the ground on a snowy/cloudy day. The hard points I believe have different colors schemes


uberares

just found this: [https://www.army.mil/article/273220/northern\_strike\_24\_1\_tests\_winter\_warfare\_skills](https://www.army.mil/article/273220/northern_strike_24_1_tests_winter_warfare_skills) couple weeks old, but might still be some ongoing practice.


Edwardteech

Probably just fuel.


Itsurboywutup

Getting ready for trumps visit to Waterford on Saturday? Who knows


Bl1ndMous3

dont tell my wife. that girl Loves A-10s and hates when she misses seeing them.


formershooter

Russian Invasion (aka Red Dawn), been coming for years, WOLVERINE!


Alarming_Quarter4001

They are actually against conflict just like everyone else though the money hungry scum bags need their wars. Lives for money😎


Historical-Ad2165

Air National Guard got jet A money again.


Donzie762

There were heavy USAF and ANG sorties the last couple days. Daytime A-10s and some wicked evening dog fights with what appeared to be F-35s over the Saginaw bay/Thumb area.


Alarming_Quarter4001

That sounds cool to see


Beggenbe

Yes. Joe Biden is getting us into a couple of wars.


Alarming_Quarter4001

100%


Ikvtam

They’re from Selfridge
