Yeah, but I don't really believe in manned aircraft that much any more, because the ground-to-air stuff is too strong. Its better that military aircraft are un-manned.


Sorry but I could not agree less.

Watch all the video links I put up. Military personal will describe what the A-10 does that nothing else can do. You need to understand why it's important to loiter on the battlefield and why you often need a human to observe with their own eyes and make decisions.

The Air Force doesn't want the A-10 anymore, they have never really wanted it.

The Army wants the A-10 because it's their best friend. They are the one's who tell A-10 pilots what they need it to do.
