The One Time The Air Force Defended The A-10...
...was against...the P-51...
Actually an updated version of the P-51, the PA-48 Enforcer.
Crazy, man.

The more interesting comparison these days in the A10 vs the EMB 314 Supertucano. Yes, the A10 is a better aircraft. But the Supertucano is a lot easier to maintain and pay for generally for non-superpower allies. It has a lot going for it. Giving some to Iraq was a good bit of policy during the Obama administration .
Yeah, agreed. From a layperson's perspective, it seems like an obvious role where prop planes might excel--and, of course, we're looking into that.
I mostly thought this was interesting because the very idea of resurrecting the Mustang in any way that late seemed unbelievable.
You probably know about all these, but:
