*Nods*
Hard to break does not equal 'Indestructable'.
There's been a few Youtube vids of pilots recounting bringing the damaged birds home.
Pretty sure though, that such machines are still 'Right offs' even though they stayed under thier pilots till they made it back home.
Lose an F-16? Recover the pilot and strap them into a new one comming off the lines.
Lose an A-10? Nup, there ain't no more, no more.
Unless thre's rumblings in the American halls of power to make something new? Assuming you can pry the money out of the Airforce's hands. I've seen more than a few comments about the internet about the Airforce's "Love" for the A-10.
Time will tell, I suppose.
Cheers.
