Yeah, for about 5 minutes until the Harriers bingo out, with their one GBU-12

FWIW the best CAS platform out there in the last 10 years is a toss up between the A-10 and F-15E. Suphornet would be a close contender if we didn't have to keep going back to the boat to make recovery times and could hang out on station for the entire duration of the TIC.
