As predicted by Air Combat Command commander Gen. Hawk Carlisle in November, the Air Force is indefinitely freezing all plans to retire the A-10 Warthog, a warplane many officials, airmen and congressional members have rallied behind since the announcement of its withdrawal from the battlefield.
Service officials next month will lay out their new request when the Pentagon submits its fiscal 2017 budget request to Congress, DefenseOne reports.
The Air Force in a statement told Air Force Times Wednesday they could not discuss the budget request until it is presented to Congress.

I love that this is a win for the troops in the ground and a loss for the general who tried to silence those pilots who spoke in defense of the A-10.

That is wonderful news SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
The noise and the sight of the Warthog strikes fear in our enemy ground forces and raises the hopes and spirits of our own ground forces. To borrow from an old Neal Young song "Long may she run."

LTC Stephen F. absolutely, this is firepower for years to come. I witness that during the Iraq invasion in 2003, when they destroyed the Republican Guard.
