Fallout Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.

Well I can finally say I feel "vindicated" after all the years of discussing my "perceived" fate of the A-10. This latest "DID" (And The Aviationist as well.) article(s) concerning this new upgrade contract (October25/19 entry.) will now keep them in active service through the early 2030's. This particular contract will not be completed until the end of 2024.

It's nice after reading all this stuff/digesting it and come to a logical solution, that works out in the end.

I was "moseying around" before I head off to the rack, and came across this...

There is work to be done concerning plane #8 shouldn't be bad.
