They've been talking about doing this for over two decades, starting not too long after DESERT STORM, IIRC. Back then the plan was to have the F-16 take over the CAS mission. I'm not sure what they're going to do now.

It's my wife's and stepfather's favorite planes and both are sad to see them go. I was at Davis-Monthan in the late '90's and when my folks visited my stepfather and I would grab some cold beers and watch the A-10s flying around from my apartment's balcony.
