Don't kill the program. Threaten to give it to the Army and watch the AF weinies change there mind.
Being a retired USAF guy, I've seen plenty of yahoo's in the AF who just don't understand the big picture and would rather create their own little empire.

It seems like deja vu all over again.
Some of you flyers help my memory here. Wasn't it in the late 60's or early 70's that the Army proposed its own close air support fixed wing based on an updated P51 airframe with turbo power?
Didn't the AF go crazy and was the A10 a result?
