.....the term “planned obsolescence” comes to mind...maybe I am totally off base, but I cannot believe this aircraft, which was touted to be such a great addition to the Air Force’s inventory, is now eventually headed to the boneyard....
USAF was under pressure to get rid of A 10’s too a couple of years ago.

You’re not off base, because to me it feels like about two or three months ago I was in my thirties and that was a solid 35 years ago... so yeah I can’t believe it’s that old... but it is.
