I was doing laundry in the basement today and my two oldest kids came downstairs screaming 'There's a Cobra plane outside!' 'The bad team is flying over our house!'
Walked outside and there were two A-10 Thunderbolts doing patterns over our house. I wasn't aware the military still used those things. I also wasn't aware that my oldest daughter didn't understand that there is no bad team army in the US, there's just one army |

The Air Force still flys A-10's, but it's also air show season. They always have an A-10 demo team at air shows. You have an airport nearby?

That's awesome! I saw some A-10's at an air show in June. They are so cool. It's funny that you've indoctrinated your children into Joes so much that they say stuff like that. My boys do the same thing with Joes and SW!

The A-10 Thunderbolt II or "Warthog" is scheduled to stay in service with the USAF until 2028. Possibly, later when it may be replaced by the F-35 Lightning II.

Also, The A-10 is a key component along with the AH-1 Super Cobra and AH-64 Apache in air support for the US ground troops. They are perhaps the ground forces favorite site as it protects them.
There is talks of an A-10 currently being produces in 1:18th scale. It would be a lot larger than the Rattler version.

As long as the kids don't find the closet with your Crimson Guard uniform in it.
