Saw the same in 1989. Two A-10's doing a display scheduled to be at the Ulster air show at Newtownards airport. Problem was I was at RAF Bishops Court 20 odd miles to the south when I saw them (heard them first and told the guy I was working on one of the HF 200 radars with "That sounds like an A-10, what the F**K is it doing over here" ).
