Will the U.S. Air Force shed an entire fleet of aircraft to cope with the budget-cutting process known as sequestration?

Now that would be a shame. Having seen the A10 up close and in action its an really great piece of kit to have on the battlefield.

An awesome sight in action, and called 'tank buster' for very good reason...

My fav plane of all time and hence my username BigGrin
Sad to see it go but it's done its time and what with drones taking over I guess the need for low level low speed strike aircraft are no longer needed..
