In reply to MR Spencer's doubt,

It was printed in ARMED FORCES JOURNAL magazine in their Dec '90 issue
specifically about the A-10 for Army to be OA-10 to replace the Mohawks.  It
was settled in some Defense Authorizations bill to let the Army operate
>10,000lb aircraft.  Remember it authorized and it assumed the Air Force was
going to retire the A-10 in favor of the F/A-16 -- these plans may have changed
after the performance of the A-10 Day attack raids in SouthWest Asia!
Also in ARMY Times 3 Dec'90 issue.  I think these sources are credible and
wouldn't dream up some "soldier of fortune Baloney."

What ever we will see.
