>the A-10 will be retired in your lifetime Feels bad :{

Cool plane.
Had a good run.
But it would just be silly to keep this thing around when all of its threats become more advanced.

>main gun is completely useless against MBTs
>main gun is hopelessly inefficient against infantry
>airframe is totally unsurvivable against even Iraq-tier air defense
>costs as much per flight-hour as an F-16, which can actually survive in enemy airspace

You fell for a meme plane.

I saw the F-4, F-14, the F-111, SR-71, and F-117 all retire before my eyes, so this is nothing new. One day I'll see the F-16 and F-15 retired too.
