My prediction is that the A-10 will become more valuable in future conflicts than less. I'm glad the DoD decided to keep it instead of scrapping it.

Thank goodness...we desperately need the capability of the A-10 to linger time on target. The AF keeps trying to get rid of it; the pilots and troops love it.

Hope they move a squadron or two back to DMAFB. They really irritated Linda Ronstadt, but we enjoyed watching their training flights come through the mountains from our patio.

I hadn't realized they'd been moved out. When did that happen?

Fall 2021. BTW, they didn't come from our patio through the mountains. We watched them from our patio as they came back from Goldwater Range across the mountains. Words matter. :-)) :-))
