This summer when I was at ROTC Basic at Ft. Knox, we had the
opportunity to see several A-10 Thunderbolts fly over us
when we were out at the firing ranges.  

After inquiring with a few people, I was told that there were
several Army pilots flying those A-10s, but I was under the 
impression that the Air Force flys (against their will:-) ) the
A-10.  

Since the A-10 is a ground-attack aircraft and in league with
many of the army's stratagies, DOES the army have pilots flying
them? Is it only the Air Force that flys them? Is the rumor true
that the Air Force is trying to get rid of them to the Army? 
(since they are a little too close to the ground for the
Air Force:-) )

Thanks in advance.
