How many A-10’s is too many?

I was a crew chief on the A-10A in the 70’s

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

That was a long time ago but I still love that flying tank

There is no such thing as too many Hogs!

It’s like hand guns. If you know how many you have you can’t possibly have enough

N+1 where N is the amount you currently own.

Have you ever noticed that the gun is so prominent that the front landing gear is off center to accommodate the BRRRRT?

Yes! The gun is actually off-center also. It fires from the side barrel, which lines up center-line.

Likely designed that way to avoid any adverse yaw when firing.

That number does not exist.

I believe they should be like the number of guns in America. Outnumbering people. 😊

Hell yes! They need to bring back the OV-10's.

Hurley!

Can never have too many, I hope they don't retire them. I remember that some where based in Myrtle Beach and fly by the beach. Awesome site.

We hope they don't either, but it's looking more and more like a sure thing.

There is never enough A-10 Warthogs. we just stagger the waves so they can all take Evasive measures and just keep the enemy scared from the constant BRRRTTT. taking out every one of the enemies from wave after wave of strafing runs until there are no enemies left to hear that beautiful sound.

This is one aircraft I'd hate to see disappear.

It’s getting closer and closer to getting the axe, but anything can happen in 3 years.

One, if you're an IRGC soldier.

If you're on the ground taking fire from an A-10 the answer is one.

As many as I can get for the boys

Look, a Sounder of Hogs!!!

No such a thing

They cant end the A10?.?

They're gonna try really hard.

You can never have too many A-10s

Ya just can't have "too many" warthogs.

One, if they're coming after you.

@ThrillaRilla369 Not enough. Wait until the uprising. It’s going to be a target rich environment. And no other plane can do it. None.

If you're running for your life, just one is too many.

That depends on which end of the BRRRRRRRRT you are

1,000,000 is too many. 999,999 is just enough.

@ThrillaRilla369 Thats like asking how many guns are enough? There are never enough.

I hope they stay around for a long while!

Me too!

Never enough. Strap rockets on them and they're literally better than X-Wings, price me Wrong (and can't say hyperspace, even the Winnebago in Spaceballs has light speed).

The main reason the Air Force wants to get rid of them is that oddball, offset nose gear. It’s just not aesthetically pleasing. Triggers their ocd. Seriously. A pentagon general once had an entire article in one of the mags and his only argument was that the A10 was too ugly.

Never enough! Arguably greatest platform ever created by our defense contractors! Better than b-52s, the chinook, etc!

Never too many…..

no such number exists in the US what a workhorse

You can never have to many!

Invalid question. Like trying to divide by 0.

I can't count that high.

Only Chuck Norris can.

There isn't ever too many of our Warthogs to be in the air :)

The lumbering A-10, reliant on low-altitude strikes, has become a sitting duck against today’s sophisticated air defenses. It simply cannot survive in a modern contested airspace. While it remains a truly legendary aircraft, its retirement is long overdue, it is time to put it in a museum

Blasphemy!

I don't mean any blasphemy; I’m a huge fan of the Warthog myself. However, we have to face the cold, hard facts. If you check my previous comments, you'll see why it belongs in a museum within the next three years

As a former soldier, I say you can never have too many of those beautiful birds.
