I've wondered the same thing all along.
Backroom questions have long been: How much stealth do you need? How long do you need it for? How can we defeat our own when it is used against us?
The most powerful strategic air tools never talked about: missile trucks
On the ground support side everyone loves the A-10 (and they are very cool). I'd rather have the unglamorous AC-130 in orbit above me ... unless I could get two, that is.
I love those A-10s. I grew up in Willow Grove, PA, near a Naval Air Station. Im assuming they housed A-10s, I saw them all the time. They always reminded me of flying tanks. Just mean-looking birds.
