T-6 published cost per flight hour is a little over $2k, 20% the cost of the A-10. Having known A-10 pilots and mechanics I can tell you for a fact that they spend more time undergoing maintenance than flying, I've spent time on the flight lines with them. The AT-6 and A29 can easily operate out of austere airfields, the logistics train associated with the A-10 makes such operations nearly impossible. As for the cannon, that's great. How is that in any way relevant to modern warfare?
