Gotta love it. I'm glad to read that they aren't going anywhere. They have proven themselves over and over.
Poetrooper sends us a link to the Popular Mechanics article which reports that the Air Force has “fired up” the depot line to keep the parts flowing for the venerable A-10 Thunderbolt. The Air force had planned to shut down the program in 2018, but with no real replacement in the pipeline for the A-10’s close air support role, the aircraft has been revived.

I love the sight and sounds of A10s in the morning, flying above me, from Whiteman AFB. That reminds me of victory!
But ... what to do about their aging airframes? I know that having one or two A10s makes for some delightful yard statuary, but I do have to draw the line somewhere!
Whatever happened to the AF's Lawn Darts? My lawn is beginning to look shabby, with their F104 parts falling off, from age.
