<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Still in use - our practices have changed. Close air support is still available but it is more restrictive. The A-10 is a force multiplier that will be used for years if not decades.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Still flying, making all kinds of noise shooting that awesome gun. Here at Moody. "What's the deal?" In a resource constrained environment our air combat command commander is forced to cancel an entire weapon system and the A-10 is one airframe that he may have to cancel. The final decision hasn't been announced but the Entire A-10 fleet is one possible cut.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In 2012 in Kandahar we had them doing missions and they were on the ATO for all of the regions. <br>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well this administration is forcing the A-10 to be retired.   I am worried about this state of affairs and the work that will need to be done to mitigate this war on the military.
