Gary, I also maintained the powerplants of F-5s, F-15s, F-16s, and YF-22s (prototypes), but nothing will ever compare to those A-10s. If it wasn't for politics, one squadron of those shitkickers could absolutely destroy the air force of the majority of our opponents. (Most importantly, may God bless those who are fighting for our freedom in the Middle East--heroes, all of them!!).
