Isn't it strange that this story is not in MSM, but during Clinton's reign this would be front page news!

The A-10 is our friend! Amen, brother. I don't care if the hog driver squats to pee. All that matters is that she can put ordnance on target when I want it there.

Amazing news. My unit has it's first female in flight school right now.
The real surprise here is that LTC McSally made quite a stir some years ago fighting against Islamic dress for military women stationed in Saudi Arabia. Guess bygones are bygones.

Are they still planning on retiring the A-10 soon. I hope not.

Nope, my unit will be retiring its F-16's and tradin' 'em in for A-10's as a result of the BRAC.

The first female fighter squadron commander recently took her A-10 unit from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, AZ, into combat. Excuse me, but the A-10 is an attack aircraft, not a fighter, so wouldn't that be the first female *attack* squadron?

Last I read (a while ago) the A-10s were going to be replaced with F-16s. When did they switch?

That good news.
I though the "plan" was to retire A-10s and replace their ground suppot role with F-16s. I don't think I'd want to be low and slow over my target in an F-16.
