Most people believe it was replaced by satellites, and they could be right, but satellites take a lot time to move into position for surveilance relatively speaking. I still find it hard to believe they shut that program down without a replacement, manned or unmanned, and wonder what such a program would cost.
At least the fuel for two big block hemi powered start carts.whatcha think the price of just starting that hog was?
I've seen doughnuts and french fries over the hills above KBUR, I'm not a conpriacy guy and whatever it costs I'd imagine we're already paying for it. I suppose in 20 yrs we'll know what's going on today, I'm just curious, perhaps it's the racer in me.
I have to assume your kidding. The A-10 was built around a very large gun and the concept that with some protection the pilot would be able to defend troops on the ground. Are you willing to be a Tucano pilot with a knife, albeit there are 9 behind you with their knives, or would you rather be in the A-10 carrying a large gun? And who do you think the troops would rather see?
