re: #88 Dark_Falcon

The A-10 performed well in Iraq when the opposition was poorly equipped and motivated. The airframes are old. They aren’t flying straight and level all day long, they will have to take evasive action to reach and escape the target zone. I don’t think the A-10 has the same survivability as an F-18 with standoff weapons. I think the A-10 is a remarkable airplane as well, but I would be happy to see these swords turned into plowshares.
