The future of the A10 Warthog
There has been a huge amount of discussion about the future role of the A10 in the US Air Force. Basically the USAF wants to retire the Hog and bring in the new, shiny and damn expensive F35.
Over on the Medium site, there are a large number of articles about this and other Hog related stories. So head along and start reading. Save the Hog!

Howl at the moon
The photo was taken by Warthog News contributor James O’Rear from the United States at Barry Goldwater Gunnery Range near Gila Bend, Arizona, April 12, 2011. A cracking photo. And don’t forget to pop over to Warthog News for your regular dose of all things Hogish!
Note: I haven’t asked permission to use this pic but I hope by linking to the relevant sites, it is OK.
