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


How many acres of shrink-wrapped Phantoms at DM? I wonder why we keep them. I'm sure we could put the titanium to better use. We'll never resurrect a F-4C and put F-100 engines in them. It's all a waste of tax payer money.

You said A-10's are worn out. Why couldn't they part out all the A-10's we currently have in storage?

Since 1995 about 230 of the 700+ phantoms produced have been converted to drones for use in missile testing.
