The Greatest Planes That Never Were

What Might Have Been: Two conceptual operational USAF/Northrop A-9A CAS aircraft with PGMs and drop tanks. The GAU-8/A 30mm cannon and AN/AAS-35V Pave Penny laser spot tracker pod look like a good fit on the A-9A airframe. Chapter 7 of, "A Complete History of U.S. Combat Aircraft Fly-Off Competitions" by Erik Simonsen, covers the Northrop YA-9A vs. Fairchild YA-10A A-X CAS competition. In addition, the winning A-10 in service and the ongoing controversial A-10 retirement argument. In all, the book features Ten Chapters of historic fighter/bomber competitions.
