There were some A-10's at KAFW last week for some reason. Such a beautiful and sturdy aircraft! Great move!

Ask a fighter pilot, would you rather fly an A-10 or the politically correct F-35 in close air support. I hate to think, that as certain Pentagon officials try to integrate some F-35's into the current Middle East war, the losses we will incur. I have yet to see where any variant of the F-35 has the built in airframe, engine, or pilot protection as does the A-10. This, Just an old bug smasher's two cents...
