Anyone else see the two military jets (?) that flew over the northern part of the Villages yesterday. They were headed right over me but then did an impressive sharp banked left turn and headed back west flying sideways showing their bellies. They were pretty low and following very closely. Don't know what they were but the wings were very straight and they had two tails. Just wondering if anyone else saw them and know anything about them. The roar was very loud.

Maybe an A-10 Warthog? One of the toughest, baddest airplanes ever flown.

There was a thread here or on FaceBook about the flyovers, yesterday & today. Training runs over Ocala National Forest: Hearing loud booms? Navy dropping bombs in Ocala

Definitely saw and HEARD them while playing Pimlico ! Seemed like being at an air show the way they did some very sudden/sharp moves !

Where’s the petition to put a bubble over The Villages so we don’t have to hear the jets?

The close air support tank killing A-10. Its 30 mm Gatling gun will shred enemy armor. I love it. Best part of my golf outing was seeing them flyby.
