The A-10 isn't sexy -- as far as USAF pilots are concerned, if it's not an F-22 or a B-2, it's not sexy. And they're too expensive to keep around in large numbers. The aircraft we have are damn capable, and the F-35 seems to be dying the death of a thousand cuts. We need new aircraft that have that kind of capability -- for example, the FA-18E Super Hornet.
