Like a F-15 pilot said when asked what he did in Iraq, " I mostly flew around in circles and watched the A-10 protect our Marines and kill bad guys."

I figure the A-10 does not cost $40,000 or $80,000 an hour to fly so according to the airfarce so it needs to go.
 
  • A-10 Thunderbolt: $22,531/hour
  • F-15E Strike Eagle: $33,177/hour
  • F-16 Fighting Falcon: $26,927/hour
  • F/A-18E/F Super Hornet: $30,404/hour
  • F-22 Raptor: $85,325/hour
  • F-35 Joint Strike Fighter: $41,986/hour
These are the numbers they claim it cost to operate these aircraft.. I guess they should start buying and arming Lear jets and save 80% of the cost of flying... Never mind once they put a couple of 2.3 million dollar missiles on the Lears we will be right back where we started.

Ok, who put the energizer batteries in it?

It keeps going and going.
I know too much and question everything.
Does anyone know the minimum safe distance of ignorance?
Did anyone ask the monkeys how much fun the barrel actually was?

Looks like the A10 will be around through 2030.
Quote:In an about-face from earlier years, the Air Force announced Monday that it will maintain the A-10 Thunderbolt II ground-attack jet to 2030. “We will EXTEND the A-10 “Warthog” platform to 2030,” Air Force Secretary Troy E. Meink said in a post on X. “This preserves combat power as the Defense Industrial Base works to increase combat aircraft production.” The move means that for the first time in more than a decade, the Air Force will not be attempting to cut or completely shut down the use of the twin-engine jet known best by its nickname, “Warthog.”
