A-10a's of the 172nd TFW ANG flew over my schools football field at 500ft. They are so silent on their approach but man are they loud when they pass over

On Tuesday, several military jets flew over my school, I caught a glimpse and a friend of mine who saw it better says that it was delta winged with no canards.
Anyone else see anything?
Saw a Shadow R1 taking off from Northolt this morning, strange because normally it's Islanders.
And Phoenix, I was going to say Typhoon until you said no canards so I have no idea.
Picture of the Shadow R1;
(It's a King Air modded for recon)

At first I used to get angry, now I try to be amused.

Quite a lot today, a Gulfstream G650 on approach to land followed by an Islander AL.1 ten minutes later. Five minutes later two BAE 125's flew over in formation. Then it was the Police EC-135 hovering near the high street.

I heard about that! Hope you had a good time. My friend Rob Rieder, air show announcer extraordinaire got pretty excited. He does a great job! Hope you enjyoed the F-15E Demo Team as well.
Bombcat you are one very lucky guy! I think I want to make Andrews sometime this year and I'll remember that flypast.

Here's a photo CodeoneMagazine posted of the flyover.
If God had wanted the army to fly, he would have made the sky brown.
If God meant man to fly, He'd have given us bigger wallets.
If God had meant for men to fly he would have made their bones hollow and not their heads.
