About the Warthog: The A-10 has been in the inventory for longer than
many or most of the posters on this newsgroup have been alive.

I wish you wouldn't write stuff like this. I remember the A-10 first
flight, which was after I got out of college and was working at
Edwards. It's one thing to be older than dirt, but another entirely
to be older than the Warthog (and the Eagle, Viper, Turkey, Plastic
Bug, C-17, Tornado, Gripen, and Mach-1-plus flight).

Even worse, I was born the day the last Sunderland was launched, and
I've not had as interesting a professional life (in aviation terms,
anyway). :-(
