Building them again would prove to be a wee bit difficult, as Fairchild Republic no longer exists, and all the manufacturing jigs and patterns are long gone.
Still a healthy support staff in Bethpage that go back to the Fairchild days but now work under the name Norhrop Grumman. Only a few remain but I had the pleasure of working with quite a few (since retired) that were there from the beginning of the A-10.
Very true on the jigs, dies, etc....every year in support of the SLEP and Modernization programs people go down to AMARG and look for the old Fairchild tooling that is believed to be somewhere in the desert boneyard.
Half of the A-10 fleet currently has brand new wings (Boeing built) with the remaining planes in the fleet slated to get new wings. While not building them new, a new wing is a pretty big investment and certainly adds a healthy number of service hours to the airframe.
