Well, keep in mind many of the oldies I was RPing with happened to be joining or had already joined the military by that point.

But I know one died of getting hit by a truck (well, two; one was apparently a suicide), another from cancer, and a third from a brain-hemorrhage/ruptured-aneurism.

Back on-topic:
I'm tempted to point out [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wOJBjpLTBA]we could just pave the way for bigger things[/url]. Or [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmGMVk049kA]smaller[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SOFTtOaVQ8]things[/url].

Even though they aren't in 'merica, it's kinda nice knowing they're still working exactly as intended down south. Here's hoping that's where the A-10s end-up, I hear they hand-out joy-rides.

Oh, and despite being based on a trainer, the A-37's internals were re-worked to be nearly A-10 levels of redundant survivable (or rather, what we learned patching-up busted A-37s went into designing the A-10). The A-10 was more of the USAF's decision to go with a whole new plane rather than upgrade the A-37 into an American Su-25.
-For the first year of combat, the A-37 suffered 0 combat-losses in over 4,000 sorties with 2 hrs maintenance per flying hour.
So far, only one A-37 has been shot-down IRL. By an SA-7 [i]in 1990[/I].
