A few months ago, some knucklehead claimed the frame was being retired. After it had just completed a remodel into the Super A-10.

If you were never involved with military, simply shut up and go for the ride. You may get a huge surprise!

Looks like they found a new role for it as a drone killer.



Biden was wrong about "F-15s". Those Warthogs can wreak havoc on primitive groups such as rogue urban gangs, cartels and even 'insurrectionists'. After a couple of passes, if I were a member of any of the above, I'd pack it in.

It is truly sad that our Nation is where it is. But the Founders knew this day would come. Even Commie Kruschev: "we'll take you without firing a shot".

I hope and pray that the Dems and the IRGC backs down. Doubtful they will.

The wing spars have to be replaced. Gross negligence committed by Air Force Inc, and most notably Lockheed Martin who for years tried to sell the F-16 as a replacement. The Congress may not do anything right, but they kept the A-10 in active service, infuriating AF brass in the process.

Yes sir.

How many boots on the ground have called the A-10, "Angels on our Shoulders."? Captain John Duncan from Saving Private Ryan regarding the tank buster Mustangs at the end.

This is awesome

I bet there are some congressmen that have the sads they can’t grift off of A10 “replacement” contracts.
