Thinking back I think my grandfather worked at a manufacturing plant making grumman hellcats durring WWII. He died before I was born, so I'm not sure on that as I never met him and have only heard a couple things about him.

Awesome tank killer...the best all around ground attack aircraft.
Questions have been raised abt those depleted uraniums...hopefully, it won't produce environmental or health hazards as alleged by some "concern organizations"
For me, they're meant to kill so be it...just don't want our soldiers handling these ammunitions getting some unknown sickness as a consequence. Remember Agent Orange in Vietnam or the unexplained malady that afflicted the veterans of the first Gulf war.

Really don't understand "The Pentagon A$$ or Brass"why they wanted to retire this plane when it was the best ground attack aircraft that supported our grunts.

A-10 is officially the A-10 Thunderbolt II
Interestingly enough, I've heard it said that the forward movement of the aircraft actually stops momentarily when the cannon if fired....surely that can't be true.

they are reused. They are expensive aluminum alloy to reduce weight
and I imagine they'd make a nasty sound if sucked back through the turbine
I'll give you half points. One reason is that the empty cartridges are kept onboard as ballast. Second reason is that because it is a close support aircraft, the expended ammunition would rain down on the heads of friendly forces, knocking them unconcious by the sheer weight and volume of expended shells.
