For most of the last 35 years I've worked quite close to Willow Grove Naval Air Station. When there is above average activity, about the most common aircraft buzzing around are the A10 Warthogs...I also love those things they are so cool. They can also zoom along pretty fast, but what I find really cool is how slowly they can fly...I almost thought it was a Harrier or something that can hover in place but it was a very slowly moving A10. I think they look like some gigantic killer dinosaur insect thing.

I used the term jetwash because it's pretty much all encompassing. In short, you don't want to follow too closely.
