Anyone want to guess who builds the A-10, and WHERE?
The A-10 is awesome, but it's time to take the pilots out of low-level duty. We need capable UAV's for close air support (IMHO).

The UAVs don't have the armor or the ability to carry the A-10's big ass gun. Also, the A-10 destroys enemy tanks so well.

The last A-10 was delivered in March of 1984. Fairchild Republic closed the plant in Farmingdale where the A-10s were built in 1987 and laid off 3500 employees. That site is now being cleaned up by the EPA.
