I remember A-10s whipping F-16’s in 2v2.

Didn’t an F-35 lose to an F-16? There’s a food chain theory afoot here.

I remember having to tell the A-10’s where we were in OH-58’s so they could engage us at 4000 ft.

The F-16 recently waxed the 35 in air to air. Keep the 16 and the A-10. We know they do what they are supposed to do.

“I remember A-10s whipping F-16’s in 2v2.”

Indeed true. I flew some F-15s against them back at Edwards in the previous century. You won’t get behind something that can turn on a time...and then points a wall of solid lead, er, depleted uranium at you.

Of course, a good air to air missile will take care of that, but the A-10 is a close air support weapon...and the best there ever was.
