Around 2:15PM today, two A-10s departed Selfridge using the call-sign "Hogger". It looked like both of them had center line fuel tanks, which from what I understand is unusual. They were not Selfridge based A-10s - they had yellow on the tail. They departed Runway 1 and made a quick turn to the east. Anyone know where they're from? Just curious.

Could've been Maryland A-10's, they have yellow & black checkerboards on the tail. They were at Thunder Over Michigan Aug 3rd & 4th. I wasn't able to go, but was able to get a report from friends. How come you missed the F-15E's from Mountain Home Idaho that was flying out of MTC to do the flybys at YIP?

I did see the F-15s flying the pattern at Selfridge (KMTC) the Friday before Thunder Over Michigan at Willow Run (KYIP).

One of the F-15E pilots was a lady, heard but forgot the callsign. SAT did 2 weak passes and flew back to Selfridge, SUN did 3 and back to MH.
