It was repossessed when they failed to pay the other $999,900,000.

Is this an accounting thread?

Perhaps the pilot is at the Sapporo brewery right now having a cold one?

Are they really sure he didn't just forget he drove it home last night and it's not sitting in his driveway? I mean lot's of govt. employees take govt. vehicles home all the time. Maybe he's just overslept and will be landing back at base anytime now?

Back sometime in the nineties an A 10 went missing without a trace in Colorado. This was not long after the OKC bombing and there were all kinds of wild theories about him being a domestic terrorist planning some kind of attack, etc. Eventually they found the wreckage strewn across a mountainside.

I'm not saying this thing couldn't be in a Chinese hanger, but most likely he went in the ocean.

They can keep it. F35 is a piece of overrated junk. Waste of money

That situation wasnt like the guy just accidentally crashed. He was on a training exercise with several other A10s. He broke formation, turned off his transponder and did not respond to radio. The guy flew for hours zig zagging around Arizona, Colorado, new Mexico and Utah in a fully loaded A10 before crashing without attempting to eject.

This fake news needs to stop. Clint Eastwood stole the stealth tech from the Soviets back in 1982 for the USA. Pictures have even been declassified from the secret mission.
