When the Air Force finally gets their way and kills off the A-10, I'll be every bit as sad as I was when they put the last F-14 in mothballs.

That has to be considered the most successful airframe in US history, doesn't it? Has any plane we've ever had been better at it's job than the A-10 is at close air support?
