Barnstormer,
Couldn't agree more, I will always look at it from the point of view of the "customer" and over the course of 10 years in that ****hole it was always AH/A10. I appreciate the job done by others but they never came close. If this is the end of A10 then I doff my cap, I'm not convinced by the cost argument against something like JSF but I am WAY down the food chain and bow to those in the know. But, for my money, when I look at airframes that have been going for far longer, I'm sad to see it go. It worked FACT.
