Perhaps the Army can get a friend in the Congress to transfer all the A-10's and A-10 support equipment to the Army.

That would be a violation of the Interservice Agreement between the Army and Air Force. In it the Army agreed not to get involved in fixed wing aviation ( with rare exception) and the Air Force agreed not to do rotary wing ( ditto). I know, I know it's stupid of the air force to try and get rid of the A 10's. What congress COULD do is mate spending for the Air Force's hot projects like the F-22 Raptor to continued deployment of the A-10.
