A-10's are pretty much flying relics,are they not? They littereally havn't built a new machine since the 1970's?
Not that i think F-16's are the machine for ground support but, at least they are still being built, yes?
Cheers.
Not at work.
The A-10 was produced through 1984 - the F-16 design is contemporary design, but it is not well suited for the role that the A-10 was built for. It really doesn't matter if the airframes are 40+ years old, as long as they're mission ready.
