If we can keep the B-52 flying, we can damn sure keep the A-10 Warthog flying! It's a matter of the will of the Air Force and not worrying about doing something stupid to supposedly help your career like get rid of the flying tank just to substitute with a piece of junk that has stealth technology but is as maneuverable as John Candy in a tutu!!

Thanks LTC (Join to see) for sharing a very logical perspective.
I wholeheartedly concur with the concept that maintaining and supporting the fleets, pilots, air crews and ground crews of the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress and the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II nicknamed Warthog

I certainly support the A-10 primarily as a well designed, robust and formidable ground support aircraft with immense staying power on the field of battle

I sometimes think that the flags all want the new sexy... unfortunately, when you are fighting a 7th century enemy old faithful works! And works well.

LTC (Join to see) you know my take here. Newer and sleek is not better sometimes. War proven and low cost is not sexy though.
