"How many dogfight engagements have A-10's been in? "

Nothing compares with the Warthog for its specific and limited mission.

And as much as the USAF hates to provide CAS, they'll be keeping the A-10 for the foreseeable future.

The Air Farce would rather scrape the A-10's than to turn them over to the Army.

That would require the stupid fixed wing combat mission restriction to be lifted. Keeping all those Officer slots is more important than a winning strategy.
