USAA: "Hello, this is Martha, how can I help you?"

YL: "I'd like to file a claim for damage on my vehicle."

USAA: "Which of your vehicles was damaged"

YL: "That would be our A-10"

USAA: "Which tail number is it, 907?"

YL: "Yes, our old 907"

USAA: "I show that you have comprehensive coverage, including battle damage, with no deductible."

YL: "Yes, that's what I hoped."

USAA: Now, we show the vehicle located at Pope AFB in North Carolina, is that still correct?"

YL: "Well, that gets a little complicated...."

This is a picture of one of our Hogs (A-10 Warthog) that just refused to 
go down.  This "Hog" was shot at numerous times.  When we saw this plane
coming in a  few hours ago, and we were overjoyed to watch it come home and
land.
 
The last slide shows the "Young Lady" that flew this A-10 "Warthog" into
combat.
 
It is hard to believe that the USAF wanted to get rid of the  A-10's.
