PFunk1606688187 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 “The last A-10 capability is the most critical – and subtle to the tone-deaf — of all: The A-10 community represents generations of uninterrupted close air support expertise that has been handed down since the Vietnam War. What do I mean?” asks Muck. “In much of the Air Force, close air support is just a job — units have multiple other missions to train to. In the A-10 community, close air support resides in no less than the genetic code. It is literally the ‘keeper of the flame’ for decades of tactics, techniques, and procedures for supporting troops on the ground, and the countless associated lessons learned in blood. If the A-10 fleet is retired this early — especially before the F-35 is fielded in great numbers to receive all that corporate knowledge — that flame will go out. Even after the F-35 comes on board in large numbers, because of the vast, disparate variety of missions to which those pilots will have to train, a lot of this corporate close air support knowledge will just wither and die.” This is the thing that sprung to my mind when I considered what the loss of the airframe, all emotional attachment aside, would mean. Even if a new airframe is fielded in maybe 20 years that can do a credible CAS job, how much of this knowledge is lost forever? Reading that guy's passion was very convincing. A passion like that really died too young. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.

WildBillKelsoe Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 RIP and great read AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
