[quote=YINDUFFY,329792]The youngest A-10 was built 24 years ago. They have been upgraded but they see hard use over Iraq and Afghanistan. There has always been a culture clash between the U.S. Air force and the U.S. Army. The Army wants planes to support troops on the ground while the Air Force ( dominated by former pilots who rose in rank) wants to buy fighters whose job it is to shoot down other planes. It was said that the A-10 was forced on the Air Force and that it did not get the attention it needed until the first Gulf War in 1991. After that A-10s became popular and they were upgraded. But that was years ago. Lately they have been upgraded a few at a time - now many have to be refurbished.[/quote]
