I used to duck hunt an area of LBL almost at the TN border on Barkley. Several times we would hear a screaming turbine engine then here would come an A-10 so low and so slow that we were amazed it was still flying. They would come right up the river channel from the south then be gone to the north. We loved the show and the ducks would fly like crazy (we loved that also).

Besides the P51 Mustang and the B-17 bomber, the A10 Warthog has to be my all-time favorite plane.
