DEVIL

yut.

Biggest comm. aircraft sure, couldn't feel it land? thats cool. The 747 is still one of the most beautiful meat haulers around, maybe second only to the DC-3, IMHO.

2. Don't get me wrong, I think it'd be fun to operate, but it doesn't take a dummy to point an MG above the horizon and track an incoming target...at least the 'hog has two motors. Edit: or I might be giving the bad guys too much credit.

So if this is going to be CAS, and not that quick, are they planning on throwing some armor in there too? How much weight can you REALLY put on an (A)T-6 or ST and expect performance??? Edit: more or less rhetorical, just my first thought. Seeing T-6's (and by extension ST's) flying around at low level look like pretty good targets for ground fire.

This bums me out.

They do.

"Awfully goofy video," take it literally, I wouldn't post if he wasn't a BAMF of the highest order.
