I was the maintenance superintendent for an A-10 wing at both Suwon Air Base, Korea, and Bentwaters Air Base, England. That definitely is one bad-ass aircraft for the air-to-ground mission. During the Gulf War, I saw one with one engine knocked out and 3/4 of the tail section shot off and it returned to King Fahd International Airport, Saudi Arabia (Our operating Base) safely. We need to send the Ukrainians some of these, instead of the F-16.
