One of the best experiences of my life was driving out in rural Kansas, near Wichita and McConnell AFB. An air show was scheduled later that week. For some reason 4 A10s coming in to the base decided to buzz my car. That was a total blast.

25 years ago I used to often drive between Port St. Lucie and Sebring Florida.
Many times two A-10s would come up frome behind me and crisscross as they practiced targeting.
They’d roar by and I’d wave and they usually crisscrossed again after they’d passed.
Rhat a feeling.:-)

I had a very similar experience when I was honeymooning in the Panhandle with the Mrs.

Two A-10s in formation pulled off a perfect 560 helix right around us on the beach (to get a better look at my gorgeous blonde wife) before powering off into the Gulf. We were the only two people on the beach (that's why it's called the Forgotten Coast).

How do those pilots know to pick the A-10 fans!

You must have had a spare pair of trousers in your luggage.
