That plane kept a lot of downed pilots from getting captured. It's maneuverability and guns made sure of that.Originally Posted by hogcowboy
Can you call the A10 a true workhorse or do you have to call it a workhog?Workhog just doesn't sound right.
It is an amazing plane that should never have been dropped from our arsenal.

Luckily, smarter heads prevailed. In January 2016, the USAF revealed it was "indefinitely freezing" plans to retire the A-10 for at least several years.Can you call the A10 a true workhorse or do you have to call it a workhog?
Smart move. I just figured it was one more Obama could chock up of ways he helped tear down our military.

They started using converted jet aircraft in California as water tankers before 91 when I left there to finally get back to Texas. I'm not sure what they use here as I've just got too old to volunteer to fight fires.

The B70 pictured was destroyed in a mid air crash shortly after this pic...
Lost two great pilots in that fireball, Carl Cross, the B-70 co-pilot, and Joe Walker, the pilot of the F-104. RIP.
