        Hate to tell you this, but once the A-10 goes away in 2010 none of the services are going to have dedicated CAS aircraft.

        Oh, that's right, because more people would live better instead or less people living, which is what happens when conservatives squander money
        I have stock in Northrup Grumman, L3, and CACI, so for me: military procurement= teh good!

          AC-130.

          But that there is no A-10 replacement is ****ing retarded.

              I bet you pay more in taxes for those that procurement than you get in dividends.

                A few years ago, the Air Force wanted to use the F-16 for ACS, however some critics said the F-16 is to fast to be an ACS.

                  In war time I'm not sure. In this Case the Iraq war does not count.

                  The Navy would have one or more E-2 up and about 200 miles out from the Carriers. Some Destroyers would also be some distance from the Carriers. The Carriers would also have Mig Cap up flying some distance from the Carriers. The B-2s would have some problems getting through. I'm not saying they would not be able to attack, just some problem getting through.

                    Not necessarily; taxes are uniformly distributed, so it depends on just how much of his portfolio is devoted to those three companies. But you're probably right.

                      according to Wiki it's more like 2.1 bn USD and that is 1997 USD... so in todays USD it is more like 2.7bn USD fireball. US is the "most expensive fireball" world record holder
