Air Force is busily trying to rid itself of all 350 of its slow- and low-flying A-10 Warthog attack planes—this despite the heavily-armed twin-engine jet's impressive combat record stretching back to the 1991 Gulf War. A-10 Demo Team East (note Gulf War Iraqi helicopter kill marking). Sep 23, 2013 - Richard Sisk of Military.com reported that old Warthog pilot, Lt. Mar 22, 2011 - A-10 East and A-10 West (flying the A-10 Warthog); Viper East and Viper West (flying the F-16 Viper); F-15E Strike Eagle; F-22 Raptor.
