Hill Air Force Base near Ogden, UT is where the A-10's are being updated and refitted for their current and future combat roles. The people at the base are using our software to do the job and I attended a presentation given by one of the lead engineers on the program last fall. Unfortunately the conference wasn't at the base so we didn't get a chance to tour the shops where the work is being done.

The A-10 'Warthog' is a proven piece of technology that
just keeps proving its value in the 'War on Terror'
over and over and over again.

It can absorb an awful lot of ground fire, and still
accomplish its mission. Between its 30 mm gatling gun
and its ability to use precision munitions it gives
American ground troops un-paralleled air support.

The sort of enemies we might need the F-35 to combat . . .
They are the sort we might have to exchange nukes with.
For terrorists and most others, the B-52 from high
altitude, and the Warthog for close in low level
air support.
