It is absolutely hilarious how the Air Force has tried to kill that thing off for decades now, going all the way back to the 90's. And every time they do, something will happen where it will prove it's incredible worth in CAS, and so they can't.
It is a beautiful thing to see one of those on station if you're in the...feces.

The A-10 should transfer to the Army.

K now why they want to kill this off and it shows how corrupt our Military Industrial Complex has become where a proven war platform is killed off (or attempted) because its not a money maker like a high priced exotic jet is.
The assembly line should never have been shut down.

The A10 is basically a huge machine-gun/cannon that they built an airplane around.
I saw one at an air show in Tucson- it was an amazing sight.
They just seem to hover like an insect and spit death.

Further proof that the A-10 is a tough bird to shoot down.

What is sad is that the A10 is a 1960’s concept, a 1970’s aeroplane, and the USAF and aerospace manufacturers can’t come up with an effective replacement. .

The AF tried to keep it from having ever been built in the first place.
