So when the AN-J-3 was created, the A-2 was declared “limited standard issue.” For a long time, we thought that meant no more ordering A-2s, but that’s not correct. All it meant was the A-2 wasn’t the latest and greatest equipment anymore, and procurement people inside the Air Force needed a reason to buy A-2s. And they did continue to buy them: the last three A-2 contracts were ordered after the A-2 became limited standard issue.

What killed the A-2 was this document (it’s short):

Looking to place an order with GW for an AN-J-3. Need one like a hole in the head but it’s the best of both worlds regarding an A2 and G1 so hard to say no. Plus it would be great for work!

Alpha B-15 mod has arrived but all the knits are ‘blown’ and full of moth holes (not superb as describe by seller). However I’m happy! Shell is fine, all zippers are good and I only paid $50 for it. New knit set has been shipped by MASH Japan and my local tailor is versed in knit replacement. Might get a dry clean too before the knit swap out. This is a very rare jacket here in the UK and more so in XL, it’s the version with wool / cotton in the interlining and subsequently quite heavy compared to modern poly fill. Has taken me 5 years of regular searching to find this one.
