Tidy little workhorse, good for a tac nuke drop too, always handy.

Good to know, had visions of Jag squadrons emerging from stores instead of using cash to temporarily keep Tornadoes from the scrap heap.

Did wonder as all the Phantoms in storage were liquidated by McKinsey and remaining Harriers were given to USMC at max 10% of face value to grease the crossed palm of the middle man, making it hard to see how the Jags could have remained on the shelf after at least fifteen years.

In theory, these AC could be pulled out of storage and used. Seen a few a Shawbury a number of years ago

That would be handy karma.

By Christ we need them.

PS. Eight A10s have now reached paradise Estonia and will also head off for exercises with the neutral Finns.

And USA is deploying F22s to Europe.

Sukhoi T-50 coming along nicely in the meantime.

The Jag's always looked like a high wing Phantom to me. They are nice lookers.

Speaking of close air support, this looks like a candidate to replace the A-10.

They are marketing those hard at every international airshow.

The Su 50 is spectacular, we are pretty much boofed!
