I am glad that they did not retire the A-10.

Me too. Probably the only thing Congress has gotten right in decades.

It is a beautiful aircraft. A flying tank.

Seems like flak guns ought to be returned to service against drone swarms.

The A-10 has one flaw. It does not have United States Army painted on it.

It saved many a soldiers life in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“I am glad that they did not retire the A-10.”

They did retire several squadrons of them. I met at the Oshkosh airshow last year one of squadron and they were headed to the boneyard that next Monday.
