  1. So the AF is considering getting some new, light aircraft basically to fly with A-10s (eventually replacing them) during counter-terrorism missions. With all of the flak the A-10 has received (especially regarding the possibility of its retirement, only to be replaced by a multi-role fighter) do you all think having a short-term replacement is a good idea? Should we just stick with the original multi-role option?

  2. I'm not sure that he was meaning that he's going to just coast through and track 38s because more are being dropped (though I can see where there's room for misinterpretation). I think what he's saying is that the odds are better and he's happy about that. Honestly, anyone would be if they saw 38 drops jump from 2 to 8(ish). Either way, you offer great advice to future pilots like us and we definitely appreciate it!
