How much does an A-10 cost, I wonder? I'm guessing (pure guessery, this) that you can probably buy about ten of them for one super-ultra-highspeed-mega fighter. Hell... we could get one for each infantry battalion...

OMG... I think I have to change my shorts. Be right back.

Cost was around $9M per jet. . .when the jet was bought and the production line open. Would be way too costly to open that line again. . .especially when you can justify spending big bucks on a multi-role stealth jet rather than try and defend spending big bucks on a single mission non-stealthy jet.

My hearts in the Hog, anyway. Luv'd flying that jet and shooting the gun. . .most fun I ever had with my pants on.

I'm NOT kidding.
