US Air Force to keep the ugly, deadly, and uniquely capable A-10 in the air through 2022

An A-10 Thunderbolt II, assigned to the 74th Fighter Squadron, Moody Air Force Base, GA, returns to mission after receiving fuel from a KC-135 Stratotanker, 340th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, over the skies of Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, May 8, 2011.

The Air Force has finally backed down on replacing the venerable and highly effective A-10 with the F-35 -- at least, not any time soon. The A-10 will continue flying for another six years.
