The Warthog Is Saved...For Now

"Even though it's likely only a temporary reprieve, it's still good news for supporters of the A-10 Thunderbolt II as backers seek to head off the iconic tank buster's imminent retirement. A House Armed Services Committee panel has voted to delay deactivation of the A-10, affectionately known as the Warthog, meaning the full House will now vote on the measure to keep the Air Force fleet flying."

Yeah.... and guess who will be sad? The 10's of thousand of Airman that will now lose their jobs as cost savings have to come from somewhere and people aren't tied to any specific district.

I still don't understand why we are going to get rid of the best plane that we have in terms of supporting boots on the ground.

Great to hear that the A-10 will be with us for a while longer.

I read this a while back and we might need them in the near future.
