Air Force Caves, Agrees To Delay A-10 Retirement

The Air Force is indefinitely doing away with its plan to retire the A-10 jet, a move that seems both inevitable and shocking, given the aggressive steps leadership has taken to get rid of the aircraft and the fierce push back they received in response.

The remarkably high demand for A-10s from commanders is almost universally cited among critics of the A-10 decommissioning process. More details will be available when the Pentagon’s 2017 budget plan to keep the bird is sent over to Congress for consideration.

Best close air support aircraft ever built.

Being one of the most reliable close support aircraft ever built, there's no reason to retire it. Especially with the looming ground war coming. I would want them over me if i was deployed.
