Army "November 4, 1952" Air Force

I did a google search for Army "November 4, 1952" Air Force, and found out that-

A definitive agreement between air force Secretary Finletter and Army Secretary Pace on November 4, 1952, established a fixed wing weight limit of five thousand pounds empty, but weight restrictions on helicopters were eliminated..."

(Source/Link Here)

Does anyone know if and how much of this agreement is still in effect?
i.e.- Could the Army build the two seat version of the A-10???

The Army and Air Force have reached several agreements through the years. The Johnson-McConnell agreement of 1966 modified the Key West Agreement restriction from weight category to mission types, allowing the Army to operate armed helicopters but restricting the Army from operating in a CAS role. Consequently, use of armed helicopters in the Army is termed as direct fire support. --Born2flie (talk) 14:49, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, anecdotal references suggest that there may have been discussion in the mid- to late-80s of the Army receiving the A-10 from the Air Force but supposedly there was a disagreement over how the Army trains pilots and selects its pilots (i.e. warrant officers) that prevented the transfer.

A direct answer to your question is that the Army likely would not receive the funds or congressional support to build a two-seat version of the A-10. --Born2flie (talk) 15:02, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

History

The history section has been expanded since I last saw the article in 2010. Some of the edit comments suggest a source, and I will be looking to verify and clean up difficult language that may be the result of cut and paste(?). I just don't know when. So, if someone gets to it before me, that should take care of the citation problem right now.--Born2flie (talk) 21:14, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Is this what you're looking for? I've added this link to the "See also" section of this page. (Also, French Army Light Aviation has a link to a list of it's equipment listed on the page). - wolf 21:27, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
