Well, you could always shake things up and buy a fighter from Russia. Wouldn't that just bust a few guts?

Like we did in 1960.

Check in on 'Have Donut', 'Constant Peg', and other SHHHH-HHHH projects run by the Air Force-you'd be amazed how many 'other side' airplanes we had in the 60's/early 70's

What was it the A-10 demo announcer always used to say the "abilities" of the aircraft were? I think it was maneuverability, affordability, reliability and survivability. Sorry for the random thought, but it's one of the first things that comes to mind when I think of the A-10. It ain't pretty, but it gets the job done. I don't really understand why they need to be retired unless the maintenance is getting too expensive to justify.
