The wings will improve mission readiness, decrease maintenance costs, and keep the type operational into 2035.
That sounds like a paste and cut from Tongue and Quille.
Like I said, the A-10s are worn out. If the powers that be want to keep it on like they did with the Phantom, then so be it. The big selling point for the warthog was a big gun and loiter time. If we can do that with rotary wing cheaper, let's go that way.

There's about 20 acres of shrink-wrapped A-10's sitting in the heart of Tucson right now.
