I'd much rather see my tax $ spent on new Warthog wings than golf outings on Airforce One.
"Under the proposal, the Air Force would retire 421 older fighter jets through 2026, according to internal documents that Air Force magazine obtained. The jets on the chopping block include all of the service’s 234 F-15C/D Eagle fighters, 124 F-16 C/D Fighting Falcon multi-role fighters, and 63 A-10C Thunderbolt close air support jets."

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown also said the service is looking at which aircraft would not be well-suited to a fight in a contested environment as it eyes the future of its force.
Plenty of Warthog runs over Lower Bank heading to Warren Grove this year. Does anyone know where they are based? They used to have some up in Willow Grove but that based was shut down. I am aware that the 177th Fighter Wing Jersey Devils is located at Atlantic City International Airport, in Egg Harbor Township. I see and hear them frequently, but wonder where the Wathogs live?
I love watching Youtube videos of the A-10's in real combat situations. Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappp!!!!!!!!!!
Here's a good one. I like the second round just for insurance.
