Senator McCain fires back at General Welsh regarding A-10s
Disingenuous and embarrassing is how Senator John McCain responded to the Air Force Chief of Staff last week over attempts to retire the A-10.

Correction, using voice text. The F-35 cannot I say again, cannot take the place of the A-10 Warthog

LTC Stephen Conway Nothing can replace a flying tank but another flying tank. I'd imagine the most important folks to talk to are the boots on the ground that need close, slow(ish), big gun air support. Which airframe do they prefer. One than can get the job done, or one that offers a bit of overkill on each pull of the trigger.
