I thought that, I was in Europe when the first A-10's arrived.......
and again they are the best at what they do.
Hence, when I went to the F4-E, we very rarely got tasked for CAS. We flew SED (suppression of enemy defenses), CAP (Combat Air Patrol), Air Superiority, and other such mission which were much more in line with the capability of the F-4 (fast and furious), vice the A-10 (low and slow)
Did you know that if the pilot of an A-10 doesn't have the power set high enough (I think the number is 90%), that the A-10 will actually decelerate when he fires the gun!
