The A-10 is one of the planes they SHOULD put back in production.

(Yes, I also think the USN mismanaged the F-14 to the point the remaining airframes were in rough shape and rather old. A condition they (USN) should never have gotten into in the first place.)

I HOPE the USAF realizes the mistake and sees the A-10 as one of the elements in present "terror war" tactics, which it is and NOTHING can replace that is ANYTHING like its job.
