Kelly Ayotte, New Hampshire Republican, have criticized the Air Force's decision to retire the A-10 Warthogs in favor of keeping the B-1B aircraft in play as the A-10s are the only aircraft specifically devoted to close air support.

This image provided by the U.S. Air Force shows a B-2 stealth bomber flying over the Pacific Ocean, before arriving at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, in 2006. A B-2 stealth bomber crashed Saturday Feb. 23, 2008 at Anderson Air Force Base in Guam. The two pilots aboard the bomber ejected before the crash and are safe the U.S. Air Force said. A board of Air Force officers will investigate what happened. Each B-2 bomber costs about $1.2 billion to build. All 21 stealth bombers are based at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, but the Air Force has been rotating several of them through Guam since 2004, along with B-1 and B-52 bombers.
