That thing was cool...payload...carry a couple of folks... In today's environment, it's survivability may not be the best. Not enough to justify the cost of modernizing it. However, I think it's cool looking. Makes me want to go to the hobby shop and pick up a few kits. |

i saw it as a modern day skyraider. And the later models with the chin guns would have been especially handy. Quite a few of them were already modernised for atf use in the nineties and probably could have been fielded with minor updates. Probably get away with putting them under army aviation since they already have fixed wing craft with the shorts and the AF hates coins

Tucano? Isn't that a type of potted meat?

prop planes have overcome jets in the past. obviously in ww2 and skyraiders (which have almost no air to air capability) have dropped migs in vietnam. And none of those carried aim9s

Lock two guys in a phone booth, one with a snub .38 and the other with a M249, and see which one gets the kill shot.
