When this whole thing with Iraq started, and the air force started sending over F-15 and F-16 fighters to handle it, I though "Oh no, they're gonna try to prove that the A-16 works, and completely disown the A-10". Well, last night when I was watching the news, I saw an A-10 with desert cammouflage flying past sand dunes... Anyone have any information on the force strength, unit, etc about the A-10 supporting Desert Sheild right now? (this may be old news, I just hadn't seen anything about the A-10 being out there yet).
