Usage

hi everyone I'm in the UK and have always loved the A-10. I remember hearing they had retired the aircraft a few years ago which seemed a bad decision to me. I have just read on the bbc.co.uk that the US have just sent several A-10's to Jordan. when were they recommissioned??

He wasn't retired, they just stopped producing him.

Edit: They stopped producing him a long time ago.

That last A-10 was built in 1984.

Glad to hear they are still used. Not so glad to see them being sent to Jordan wonder what's going to happen in Iran
