The B-52 is older than any active duty pilot. The KC-135 is just about there as well but it's replacement is about to get into full production.
We sure need to either make a better A-10 or start making more A-10s.
I was at a social event and was listening to two men discuss the A-10. One was a former A-10 pilot and the other a former tank commander and both had been in the first gulf war. It was fascinating to listen to them both. The tank commander at one point said something like "that A-10 transformed before my eyes from the ugliest airplane to the most beautiful thing I had ever seen" Evidently the A-10 had destroyed some "problems" for the ground guys. It just shredded some Iraqi armor.
