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

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.

Isn't it ironical? The USAF has been trying to rid itself of the A-10 for years, but, like the Energizer Bunny and the B-52, it just keeps on ticking.
