Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
Don all I say is if your extending out to 2025, I strongly feel that you can extend the A-10 to that date. Thank you ISIS and Russia for keeping them around! The news that the A-10 will be around through fiscal 2017 is old news, it's already been decided that 2023 would probably be the time frame however, Congress told the USAF it's not going anyway without an effective replacement. All this is already posted in this thread.

On the last ref. scroll down after reading the article, you'll see an interesting article on the F-22, as they say " where there's smoke, there's fire" I'll have figure something out with the F-22, they were put on a parallel program to upgrade them with an all new electronics suite very similar to the F-35 one but modified to fit the F-22, also already posted in this thread.
Have a great weekend-2 more to go!
Regards,
Pat
