Just announced this week, the A-10 aircraft program will begin to include Navy, Army and Marine Corps pilots. Distribution of pilot slots will coincide with production of new aircraft, now under contract negotiation, designated as A-10N, A-10R, and A-10M. USAF craft will be redesignated A-10A.<\/p>\n

Among other improvements the planes may include CB and AM\/FM access to keep bored pilots from dozing off during target practice runs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
