WT Forums

New to the forum but I have been reading through the messages. I see alot of hog drivers and crew members, So I would just like to say hi.

I will be attending the USAFA PS starting July 16th and upon graduation in '08 I had planned on going ugly. I am Private certified with 58hr and working on instrument.

I am upset and a bit confused however at the number of people saying the A-10 program will be likely killed in 5 years or less. According to some people I have talked to, the hog was to be in service until 2028, having gone through the hog up program to extend to 16,000hr. Can someone verify if the program will go through? I wouldnt want to have to go lawndart...

Thanks, and I hope to learn from you drivers out there.

Welcome aboard!!! That question has been asked many times here so the answer is around here somewhere. I just don't remember where it is right now.

Andrew,

Good Luck at the P-School. I graduated from there in '94. A Squadron. Had a great time. Probably the best of the five years. Of course, I've been gone a while, so I'm not sure what it's like anymore. Hope the hog's still around when you graduate. And not just for you, but for all the Hog Drivers, Maintainers and admirers here.

Maybe I'll see you around the Air Force.
