    C-130s have four engines.. it’s made in the good ole USA. Easily modified. Lots of room. Can go almost anywhere. Cruises at a zippy 320T.   I’m sure Lockheed could fit two VC-130Js in the que.

First flights scheduled later this year, if it demonstrates consistent vertical takeoff and landing, it’s a big deal.

Hot take but I think we should've bought the YA-7F with the afterburning motor and given it to the Guard. Maybe made a 2-Seat model for FAC-A. Would've still been cheaper than a Viper and came at a perfect time for COIN.

Always thought that was a missed opportunity like the F-20

Modernized A-7 model built by a hobbyist, probably pretty close to what an updated F/A-7 would be
