Hmmmm, sounds like the USAF might be looking at a new CAS aircraft and/or keeping the A-10 around a bit longer. Not much mentioned about the F-35 being able to effectively performing CAS. I love it!! Things that make you go, Hmmmm. LOL
Long live the A-10!!

The A-10 can do and will do the job for years to come. I would like to see the list of those that are benefiting from the F-35 that served in positions to award these over budget contracts and programs. Just me?

I certainly hope the USAF will keep the A-10 Warthog on the active list for a few more decades TSgt David L.. The A-10 has long been a stable and robust close-air support aircraft which heartens the spirits of ground soldiers and drives terror into our enemies.
Thanks for mentioning me Maj Marty Hogan

I wholeheartedly agree, LTC Stephen F.. I keep going back the extension of the B-52 airframe program. It will be around 100 years old when/if they actually retire it. The A-10 deserves, as do our combat troops, as long of life as it can possibly have.
Long live the A-10!
