Questions/comments

A fly-off of the two prototypes took place October 10 and December 9 1973, with the YA-10 declared the winner on January 18 1973

Was the winner declaration in 1973?? 1974 makes more sense. Or was fly-off in 1972?? --195.249.233.217 08:07, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Fixed the spelling of programme. Wikistyle dictates the appropriate use of english in regards to the subject matter's country of origin British Spelling Cfpresley

Added specifications

I added the weight specifications and wing area, using the March Field Air Museum page on YA-9A as a source [1]. I also added the number of hardpoints. I left the aero-specs template in place because I am not sure if it would be approppriate to remove it now. --Marvin ^talk 00:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not much information on the subject

This article really says almost nothing about the YA-9. Design history? Design Philosophy? Flight test experience? Nothing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.50.92.159 (talk) 23:59, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

it's wikipedia dude - think of it as a 8th grade term paper written by a committee - now if this were a British aircraft, the article would be 10,000 words long, all expounding how great the design was, etc. even though only 3 were produced (or if it were a production a/c maybe 100). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.171.131.187 (talk) 17:36, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
