The Air Force Obama Administration wants to retire the A-10, an attack aircraft intended for close air support, to pay for its new — and costly — multipurpose F-35 stealth fighters.

FYI it was Dick Cheney who ordered the jigs to be destroyed. The Pentagon didn’t want this aircraft to begin with and has been trying to kill it off ever since it was first deployed. Congress initially ordered 750 of them. The number ordered was high so the Air Force couldn’t send all of them straight to the National Guard as they flew off the assembly line.
