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.

Wrong.

If we're just handing them over to the Afghans, then fine.

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.

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.

I don't believe that the Navy sends "contact" style rides out on IFR flight plans.

They do.
