Air Force can't quit the A-10 Warthog, extends service into 2030

The xilinx 7 series got extended out to what? 2045? That'll be a 35 ish year run. Still nothing from them can compete on price, functionality, and availability. At some point maybe we've just solved it. Bow and arrows were fairly relevant for almost 100k years. In 1002026 maybe the A-10 can retire.

not modern, yet functional. I'll bet the A-10 and the ak-47 might parallel MS-DOS or the 8051.
