This is the AF's idea of ground support - from 250 miles away @ 35,000 ft.

I prefer the A-10 up-close and personal.

The Air Force has been trying to kill the A10 since before it actually went into production!

How do the aircraft launch on that aircraft? They would be sucked into the fan at the end.
