WNU Editor: I suspect that these lawmakers will strongly disagree .... McCain, other US lawmakers, vow to save A-10 'Warthog' aircraft (Reuters). Maj. Gen.

A-10 Performing 11 Percent of Anti-ISIS Sorties (Defense News), while insurgents have made these planes high priority targets .... U.S. A-10 Thunderbolt aircraft face the threat of Man Portable Air Defense Systems in Iraq (The Aviationist).
