US Air Force Gives Up Its Plan To Retire the A-10

[Gnarly Gnu]

"The U.S. Air Force has decided to indefinitely postpone the retirement of the legendary A-10 Thunderbolt II ground attack plane. The venerable Warthog's increased role in the air campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria was the Pentagon's main reason for the postponement."

The A-10 has always been one of my favourites. A good example of form following function.
