I had to do an 8min speech on saving the A-10 in Airman Leadership school. They are throwing billions to upgrade the airframe as we speak.

A quick internet check will reveal that the Air Force wants to retire the aircraft from their inventory. Steps were taken in Congress to do that. Further debate in Congress, prompted by military advice to retain the A-10, continues, but, the plan to phase out the A-10 remains.

This military advice came from other armed services. The Air Force has not waivered from its plans to phase out the A-10.

Plans to phase out the A-10 would not abruptly halt upgrades and improvements of current A-10s in the inventory.

Correct me on anything that I've written that is wrong.
