Lkorrow> And that's why Obama tried to kill it.


Also, I'm not so sure obozo was the one trying to kill
the A-10. The site I like has pointed out several
times that it was the Air Force trying to deep six it.
So they could 'save' enough money to buy nifty high
tech aircraft . . .

Problem for the Air Force was every time they turned
around the Grunts (Army and Marines) was calling for
an A-10 for some close air support.

I'd love to see U.S. design a similar machine with
the additional durability and some extra goodies like
a tail hook so Marine pilots can fly them off aircraft
carriers.
