Good Morning. Sunny and cool
Evening Todd, everything going as good as can be, knock on wood. A-10's are some badass planes, as well as many aircraft in our fleets today, can take a chitload of punishment with redundant systems, lose an engine, etc and still manage to come back...one big plus for multi-engine aircraft, but not so much for single-engine aircraft...laws of gravity tend to work against those, and quick. I remember watching as a kid and still watch the documentaries and vids to this day, many B-17 Flying Fortresses back during WWII just shot up ten ways to hell, missing flight control surfaces, etc, making the long trek back to airfields in England. A definite testament to pilot(s) skills and knowing what an aircraft is or isn't capable of!Good morning Jason how's the Base treating you ,how's this shot to chit and still made it homeView attachment 95550

Howdy Jason, we are all great now!What's up crazy...everything good your way? How's the little man doing?
It's not going anywhere in the foreseeable future. They've talked other aircraft fulfilling the role of the A-10, but the cost is way too high on a per aircraft basis to possible loss ratio to have multi-role fighters like the F-35 Lightning II and other newer, as advanced aircraft of the same, take on low-level altitude ground engagements. The A-10 is a tried and true workhorse and the upkeep and maintenance is not what was put on the table as projected years ago to be its' undermining and demise.Yeah and they wanna replace it
When it shows up on the battle field the enemies in for a bad day
