Air Force Shenanigans

A follow-up to my earlier post on the campaign in the Air Force to get rid of the A-10 "Wart Hog" aircraft, a tried and true fighting machine that everyone except the Air Force brass wants to keep, partly because there is no faith that the dismal, incredibly expensive (and so far highly incompetent) F-35 is ever going to be able to take its place.
 
It turns out now that the Ari Force has been getting "creative" in what they let out in terms of statistics and data around the A-10: http://www.pogo.org/our-work/articles/2015/af-hq-declassified-and-released-incomplete-data.html.
 
Of course, one would hardly expect less of the Pentagon Sinkhole, which has been part of an ongoing series here and I am sure will continue to be for a long time to come.
