Here’s my essay about the A-10 … “Badass!”

I’d be perfectly happy to see the A-10 retired, if the Air Force was fielding a replacement.
And by replacement, I mean something dedicated to ground support. Not a high-altitude fast-mover with a ground support pod hanging from a hardpoint.

11 million $ versus $85 million for the F35. One third the operating cost. We don’t need stealth fighters against backward Islamic goathumpers.

I don't think they're ugly at all. That Gatling cannon is awesome. It fires 65 30mm rounds per second, with enough ammo to fire for 20. A few seconds is enough to take out just about anything.

The Iranian Navy won a battle over the U.S. Navy in a war game by using “swarming” tactics. I’d stand in line to see the movie, “The Whole Iranian Navy vs. One A-10”.

Thanks for posting. I LOVE the A-10! I shouldn’t because I’m a huge fan of speed and/or power, and tend to ignore everything else. But I do love the thing. It just makes me smile.
