re: #143 SteveMcGaziBolaGate

Now I realize I’m being a bit of a contrarian (spell check has no suggestions, if that isn’t a real word substitute sourpuss), but budgets are going to shrink and we can’t afford everything. Besides, it’s awesome that the damaged plane brought its pilot home like it was supposed to, but that plane is as good as lost. How long so you suppose it would take to get that thing back into service, and what so you think the odds are that they had to cannibalize another one for replacement parts to do it?

The A-10 is cheaper and more easily repairable than any airplane replacing it. The budget argument goes against retiring it.
