Larry,
Agreed. The A-10 was really given a hard time when it first came out. Never flown them (I flew for McDonnell Douglas and they did not like us in other companies planes!) but friends flew them for years and loved them. Tough as nails and would bring you home every mission. Also they are very unforgiving in the ground support area and are a tanks worst enemy, as well as like you said have a very good loiter time...
