  • Thirty Years On, USAF's A-10 Units Are Going Strong, Moving out with New
    Thirty years on, USAF’s A-10 units are going strong, moving out with new weapons, targeting pods, avionics, and training. 21st Century Warthog Photography by Guy Aceto and Paul Kennedy On the flight line at Pope AFB, N.C., a brace of A-10 Warthog attack aircraft are readied for a training mission. The A-10 is famed for a nose-mounted 30 mm Gatling gun and great ruggedness. Also notable is a new feature—the Litening II laser targeting pod—seen on these aircraft. 34 AIR FORCE Magazine / June 2005 Photo by Guy Aceto 21st Century Warthog AIR FORCE Magazine / June 2005 35 he A-10A Thunderbolt II, known Tto all as the Warthog, began as a down-and-dirty killer of Soviet tanks.

Enhanced navigation capabilities, the Low-Altitude Safety and Targeting Enhancement (LASTE) system, a night vision goggle- compatible cockpit, and other improve- ments have made the A-10 effective for combat in the 21st century. The first production A-10 arrived at Davis- Monthan AFB, Ariz., in October 1975, nearly three decades ago.

  • Cracking Back: the Effectiveness of Partisan Redistricting in the Texas House of Representatives
    Cracking Back: The Effectiveness of Partisan Redistricting in the Texas House of Representatives Brian K. Arbour and Seth C. McKee We assess the partisan consequences of alternative redistricting plans in 2001 for the Texas House of Representatives. In the paper, we combine a methodological tool (the JudgeIt program) that allows us to examine both enacted and proposed redistricting maps with data from not only the districts used in the 2002 and 2004 Texas House elections, but also from districts that existed only in proposed plans. We find that each redistricting plan benefited their sponsor’s party. In fact, a plan supported and advocated by Democratic Speaker Pete Laney is projected to have kept a Democratic majority in the Texas House after the 2002 elections. Our data also demonstrate that rules matter in redistricting, especially in the context of substantial party system change shown by the growth of the Republican Party in Texas. In 2003, the redistricting battle in Texas played out in dramatic fashion, as Democrats in the Texas House and Texas Senate both left the state at different times in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to stop the majority in the Legislature from implementing a congressional redistricting plan that greatly favored Republicans. In this paper, we show that the drama provided by the escapes to Ardmore, Oklahoma and Albuquerque, New Mexico are the result of a previous redistricting—the 2001 redrawing of lines for the Texas House of Representatives. Those new lines allowed Republicans to take the majority in that body in the 2002 elections and complete the first sweep of Texas government by Republicans since Reconstruction.
