It is absolutely hilarious how the Air Force has tried to kill that thing off for decades now, going all the way back to the 90's. And every time they do, something will happen where it will prove it's incredible worth in CAS, and so they can't.
It is a beautiful thing to see one of those on station if you're in the...feces.

Good! The A10 is the best ground support aircraft ever designed.

Just noticed that the Congresscritter who has been fighting to keep it alive is not only a former A-10 pilot, but a female.
Good for her. Still don't want the damn splittails in infantry units, though.

Because it made so much sense to spend millions on rewinging the Hogs then retire them.

Nothing like sneaking through the deer woods have 2 of these buzz over just above tree level as they fly simulated bombing runs over local bridges.

Agree. I wonder who is doing the upkeep on these; there is no more production but it should be on someone’s plate to look at the feasibility to start building them again.

Eventually, the wings will fall off. Until then, keep flying ‘em ... and build a bonafide replacement.

This will go over Obama’s head, but it should make sense to anyone who has ever worn the uniform.
1. The A-10 is a phenomenally effective aircraft for its vital combat mission.
2. The A-10 should remain operational until the Air Force has something at least as good to take over that mission.
As pretty as stealth aircraft are, and as fun as air-to-air combat jets can be, it’s boots on the ground who take and hold territory. We need aircraft that support those troops, and the A-10 is the best for that mission.

The A-10 is the most effective CAS asset in the USAF inventory, the cheapest to run, highest availability, and most survivable attack plane — and some of the USAF fighter mafia think the F-35 can replace it? For the price of one F-35, you could run the whole A-10 fleet for years! Warthogs forever!
