As it time and again proves to be the best, and most preffered, close air support aircraft, and the fighter pilots who fly the Air Force, are told time and again that it’s too good a tool to lose. So they get upgraded, reluctantly I might aid, to new digital cockpits, and better commo gear, to be better integrated into the digital battlefield.
