Entrenched in an ongoing budget battle, will the A-10 continue to serve or will it be retired and replaced by the F-35?

I don't understand people that are getting so upset it's being retired.

Yes, it's a great plane. Shame it won't be around anymore. But unless we get rid of the old stuff, we'll never move forward and innovate.

I was listening to an old episode (January 2014) of the AirplaneGeeks podcast yesterday and they were discussing issues the F-35B was having with it burning/melting the flight deck on it's carriers. Could be a bit of a problem during a period of continuous ops...

Little known fact: the sound of the A-10 gatling gun is second only to a bald eagle's shriek for most patriotic noise.
