That video had an agenda. I approve. The day those lousy flyboys with stars on their shoulders decide to retire the A-10 is the day I will find a new MOS. Those caviar eating pricks know nothing about, nor care anything for what it means to be a grunt. So they can either shove their pretty little F-35 where the sun don't shine, or find a new way to fight a war that doesn't involve having an 11,12,13,18 or 19 series soldier taking effective incoming fire from a superior position.

The A-10 has EARNED it's role.

Great vid.

My dealership sits right behind the Air Guard base here in Fort Wayne. About three times a week the A-10s come right down over the building so low you can see the color of the pilots eyes. I never get tired of watching them.

By far my MOST favorite military aircraft. Bad A$$!

You know, I'll be the first to admit, I don't have firsthand experience, I'm not an expert.
I was a submariner.

But I do know
The pilots say it's still viable.
The troops say it's still viable.
People have studied the effects on troop morale, and said it gives a ginormous benefit to morale and effectiveness.

So, what's the frikkin problem?

**** YEAH!!!

But, I do have to ask...do you have to have a 'stash to fly an A-10?

Cool. With having a son in the Air Force, it's nice to see stuff like this. They get a lot of crap from other branches, but even the other branches are glad to have them by their sides at times.

My son is a proud Airman and even though he doesn't work with aircraft, he knows that when he is needed, he will be appreciated for what he brings to the party.

Thanks for posting! I think I'll go ahead and order the book None Braver which has been in my Amazon wishlist for awhile.

If you fly it
It will grow.

I was at Purdue twice when the A-10's were there. I was really impressed at how well they manuver at slower speed, and how quiet they were at the same time. I know they change those manors when they are pushed at full throttle. It is an impressive aircraft, and by others accounts, a very usable fighting tool.

Same problem we have a lot of other places. People at the top "know best" and make choices we don't understand due to the fact they usually don't affect them.


I would like to add how cool I do think the A10's are though also!

The problem is budgetary constraints, supposedly. Here is as good an explanation as I've ever seen. I love this guy and read his site often.
