I hope it does not go out of service as I don't know if we could design an aircraft this good any more due to mission creep.

A-10 "Go ugly early"
I hope they don't cancel it either. Its big, ugly, and effective. The F-35 cannot do its job - period. The A-10 has got a new lease on life though due to its incredible usefulness in Iraq and Afganistan. You cannot do what it does with an F-16!
