re: #397 The Yankee
Well the American economy of the last maybe 20 yearre: #389 wlewisiii
I heard that they were going to retire the fleet but that was in the 90’s seems like they might of changed their minds about the A-10.
The Air Force has been trying to kill the A-10 for years, but they have no real alternative in stock to replace it. The most fanciful idea I heard was the suggestion that they’d slap a 30mm gun pod on F-16 for such missions. They’re now talking about doing the same with the F-35, but that’s even more laughable.
