Any aircraft that gets fragged properly is going down, so that part of the equation is pointless. :know:

The A-10 will never be retired - Its already been on the chopping block 10 times before, but its just too useful!

And more importantly they dont have a plane yet that can do it better.

Anyone else think that the Osprey sorta looks like the Terminator HKs?

I thought this was being scrapped, too. It seems like all of the cool stuff is/was. I really liked the RAH-66, too.

Seems like a good aircraft, though.
