They ought to have bids on companies who will start making new A 10s...
and A 6 Intruders also ( JMHO)...
The Skyraider was always one of my favorite A/C, especially a Navy A/C...
I really think that the F 22s and F 35s will be made obsolete sooner than people think...
anti Aircraft missile systems have gotten so sophisticated, fighters and even large bombers
are pretty much obsolete now...regardless of altitude.... missiles are so much cheaper and accurate.
The two A/C that are pictured in Woodie's post, is pretty much like the P51s being used in Korea...
High attitrition.. too bad they scrapped all of those P 47s after WW 2... they would have made a
much better showing in Korea for ground attack and support...
Not much does what the A 10 did... nor the Skyraider, or even the A 6 Intruder...
We don't need to get rid of the A 10, the nation needs to be making newer Airframes with updated Avionics...
