ROFL, the A-10 is the most successful close air support aircraft ever. It was kept flying for 20+ years past it's retirement age with everyone trying to kill it (leadership and Congress) because nothing can come close to doing what it can.

Yes, because America's enemies during that time didn't have planes of their own, air defense, shoulder-fired weapons or machine guns.
What they had was old AK's, Soviet artillery shells filled with fertilizer, Casio watches and Nokia phones. (Oh, and they won.)
