I'm just thrilled they're keeping the A-10 around.
I f'n love that plane; I'd give me left nut to own (a de-mil'd) one.

The current admin axed the F-22 due to its $146million/fly away unit cost. Instead we opted for a single engined smaller F-35 which so far costs around $214million /unit. Some of our allies are growing impatient over the delays and cost increases. [Bang][Bang]

Def. Sec. Gates was the one pushing hard to axe that last 12 planes. Congress wanted to keep building them, since they (Strategically) have parts built in something like 46 states.
