[ARC5] A10 Warthog

[MICHAEL ST ANGELO]

Isn't the F-35 supposed to replace the A-10? I read that one issue is that the Air Force does not have the maintenance personnel to support both planes so they want to retire the A-10.

I have friend that worked on the A-10 when he was at Republic aviation. I'll ask him about the radios.

I had thought that model was retired and *gone*. I looked it up and those are still in service and expected to remain for quite some time to come. I had it confused with a Navy airplane.
