    I understand that she's getting old, but would it be feasible to design a new and more capable airframe around the gun? It's combat record speaks for itself that it has had and can still have a very effective situational role in our military. It just seems too effective of a weapon system to let die. Not every situation or adversary is loaded with high tech air defense.

    Congress has nixed retiring the A10 twice already, and AFAIK, will not allow the AF to retire it a third time. The A10 is actually getting new upgraded wings and jet engines and will good to at least 2030. "A key component of the A-10C's upgrade is the integration of new weapons systems. This includes the addition of advanced precision-guided munitions and updated targeting pods, which will enhance the aircraft's ability to engage moving targets with greater accuracy" The A-10 Thunderbolt II, better known as an A-10 Warthog and famous for its “BRRT” sound, is set to be fully pulled out of U.S. Air Force service by 2029.
