The Air Force hates the A-10 because it is not a sexy, expensive, go-fast, stealth fighter. Transfer the A-10 along with the air crews and support personnel to the Army.
The Army is barred from operating fixed wing aircraft since 1947.
Respectfully, you are mistaken.
See my post #20.
Given the massive budget "bill" the Air Force and the rest of the DoD is forced to "pay" so we can keep the ObamaCare subsidies, EBT cards, and Social Security Disability dollars flowing, the only way to save Billions is by cutting entire line fleets. Thus, the A-10 and KC-10 are targeted for termination.
Better than that, give them to the Army and Marines, and start building new ones. Same proven ideas, plus some upgrades. Nothing else can really replace it.
Have the Air force give all their A-10s to the Army and Marines, let the Army and the Marines have their own separate small ground support airforce.
The A-10 is the best plane for what it’s built for.
