[quote=Anonymous]I spoke with someone close to this, and the whole thing comes down to the Maryland political delegation wanting fighter jets for the Maryland Air National Guard. Maryland currently has a Wing of A10 ground attack aircraft based at Martin State Airport in Baltimore county. They think the state needs air-to-air fighter/interceptor aircraft with secondary precision bombing capability, rather than ground attack aircraft like the A-10. And it’s quite clear no one involved knows a damn thing about either aircraft. So the whole thing is about egos. Wanting to have fighter jets instead of ground attack jets. As though Maryland needs either of them, frankly. DC actually makes a better case for having fighter jets due to the ADIZ that surrounds the city, where having fighter/interceptor aircraft makes at least some sense. But Maryland pols want fighter jets. So stupid. [/quote]
