....SECAF announced today that Mister Hog will remain in service until 2030. I have a feeling that more than a few bluesuited generals will be trying to figure out a way to cripple it, but in the meantime, it's officially safe.

Footage of A-10s being tested with a new refuelling probe also appeared recently, so that they can fill up from tankers that don’t have booms as well.
