But if I was just in the vicinity and the pilot was shooting that close, I'd bug the hell out.... for all I know he was trying to get me! Not clear what the A-10 was firing at though. Really cool on the second pass, where things started exploding and the sound came 5-6 seconds later. _________________________ - Ice

I never really latched on to the fact that the rounds would arrive that much farther ahead of the sound. Pretty freakin' awesome boys... _________________________ "ENO" SimHQ Firehouse Server Thread LOF Firehouse Server Thread
