[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 68826665, member: 326155"] Back in 1996, a general who was a personal friend of mine retired from the Air Force. At a private after-ceremony get together with a few of us who'd known him since he was a captain, he shared the opinion that the F-22 would be the Air Force's last manned fighter. When the F-35 followed, I figured the general's prediction was wrong...but I can't yet predict that his prediction is faulty...not yet. The Air Force plans to use the F-35 to replace the A-10 for CAS. The Air Force never really liked the A-10. Moves too slow. The "fighter mafia" is fighting for its life right now. [/QUOTE]
