I grew up in Evangeline Parish, just south of Rapides Parish in the 70s. Not only A-10's but there were all kinds of airplanes that flew out of there at times.

I remember in the early 80's some sort of exercise was going on, with A-7s and F-4s flying all over this area. We were water-skiing at Crooked Creek and the pilots kept coming lower and lower to get a look at the chicks in the boats and on the beach.
