First thank you Don, been on the A-10 for a long time now, it truly is an outstanding platform. Secondly just pulled this from a DID article (ref within the story) which considering that the USAF hierarchy wants to get rid of the A-10, that they would turn around and publish the following article and data REALLY makes their plans counter intuitive. When you
take away the transports and UAV's and allow for the fact the limited numbers of gunships they have available compared to the A-10, it makes the A-10 the most mission capable aircraft they fly. Though it might surprise some, but most members of Congress do know how to read in general and are really adept in interpreting charts. Makes you wonder if someone in the USAF got in trouble for disclosing this data!?!

I wonder if I should forward this to my Congressman and Senator to keep them in the "loop"!?!
