The U.S. should upgrade the A-10... with stealth and avionics.. and maybe VTOL versions..

Any guy who sees an A10 and doesn't have a, uh, visceral reaction, isn't a guy.

When an airframe gets the job done, come up with a better one or just build and enhance what works! They ain't done the former so they should do the latter.

If kill were nimble and could fly it’d look like the A-10.

The idiots destroyed the tooling.

I guess we’ll just have to do it the Chinese / Russian way and copy our own design to make a brand new A-10.
