Comment on A-10 Warthog Sent to Boneyard by Dick Healing

When the USAF long ago said it no longer wanted such an ugly plane parked alongside the sleek F-16s, the Marine Corps – those on the ground who benefit from what the Warthog can do in close support – spoke up: “Send them to us; we know what to do with them!” USAF: on second thought, we can still use these ugly aircraft…..so we will upgrade them to make them better……and we can still support our grunt brothers and sisters! Still not convinced that the F-35A is an equal-or-better aircraft than the Warthog. So, it’s old….but so is the Buff (B-52!).
