I stay the 18 warthog I think they should upgrade to stealth because they could I would have that over any aircraft F-35 F-16 it doesn't f****** matter it can't do with that aircraft can do and take a beating like that aircraft can take these problems know what they're getting into when they go to battle so she respect that aircraft and keep it around for another 30 years until you find something better than that cuz I don't see anything that's better than that aircraft can do what it can do and it's a powerful it is and it's cheaper to run give me a f****** break so I say you keep it for another 30 years upgraded to stuff if you can why not why not what's so hard about that? Cost you a little bit more money but it'd be worth it
