    ROFL, the A-10 is the most successful close air support aircraft ever. It was kept flying for 20+ years past it’s retirement age with everyone trying to kill it (leadership and Congress) because nothing can come close to doing what it can.

    You want a failure look at the F-22 being retired without ever seeing combat despite there being active wars. It was too expensive and too unreliable.
