They sure are good lookin birds. I've always been a sucker for a pretty face.

I think the F-22 balances well with the F-35 program. I think we should support quality airframes, which includes keeping the A-10 flying.

Right there with you! The A-10 is fantastic for it's role and the F-35 will never have its capabilities. We need a follow on for it as well. With the update, keep all the capabilities of the current A-10 and add 100 knots of speed, better targeting and night vision capabilities, and the same communication interfaces going in to the F-22/35 programs.

Sound like a plan?
