Congress
has just refused Air Force requests to permanently scrap the A-10.
They are too good at what they do, though admittedly they fill a niche.
In fact we are sending a fair number of them to Israel. They are a
superb air-to-ground platform and are very useful in the sort of war
they are fighting over there.
It
is my understanding the air frame is essentially constructed around the
gun and the titanium armored tub that encloses the pilot to protect
from ground fire.

Those Warthogs can sure make a mess.
