A10s are not configured for air-to-air engagements. Good thing nobody told Col. Bob Swain that. He holds the distinction of the first air-to-air kill in an A-10 Thunderbolt II, when he downed an Iraqi helicopter during Operation Desert Storm. His aircraft was affectionately named "Chopper Popper".

I doubt if NORAD would know whom to call to get an A-10 up.

It’s not like an ultra light is able to do high G maneuvers or launch missiles... strictly point an shoot affair for the A10’s guns.
