"There are photos on the web (I'm sure somebody will find it?) of an A10
that returned to its base in Afgan shot to pieces but with its female pilot intact."
Captain Campbell's awards already speak to her awesome airmanship. Very impressive results. Good show for the A-10 too! Hard to imagine how anyone would think the F-16 or even the F-35 would be a reasonable replacement. Our forces on the ground need and deserve the CAS that the A-10 delivers.
