AF Light Air Support Aircraft
For perspective a T-6 costs ~$4.6M let's say an AT-6 costs $8M. A scorpion costs $20M. The AT-6 flight hour is $1K compared to $3K on the Scorpion. Not to mention a "mature" T-6 parts line. Essentially for every Scorpion produced 3 AT-6s could be bought and fielded. I don't see the Scorpion winning this. I assume the SNC A-29 has similar costs and it's line is open/being offered to FMS and we have qualified A-29 USAF IPs.

Changing/Switching airframes
Crossflow talk aside, I think it's weird a FAIP decided to make an account pretending to be the mouthpiece for every FAIP in the AF, past and present.

I'm convinced Chang is a line flying Major that just loves to rile everyone up while sipping some 18 year single malt.

Goldfein advocating FAA 1500 hour rule change???
I think Chang is a better troll account than scoobs. I wonder if multiple people participate in it.

Goldfein advocating FAA 1500 hour rule change???
From the article: "The Air Force feels that implementing a stop-loss policy would cause pilots to flee the Air Force before the door closed, and they won't stick around to see if things improve. " This tells me the AF will hide stop loss till the last moment so no one can separate before. And I think Everhart was showing an unfiltered, unauthorized view into potential scenarios.
