Looks like we are going back to WWII designs. I wonder what the rationale behind two aircraft is? Is the A10 more vulnerable or a bigger target at lower speeds? |

Glad to see if Hawg stick around. Best at what it does, period. But...I can see a place for the AT-6 in lower threat environments that still require close air combat support. Cheap to buy, cheap to operate, American made with off-the-shelf parts and can do many of the missions required by the A-10 or the Apache for a lot less money. |

Fixed wing prop really needs a radial engine for close combat survivability. I guess nobody builds one, anymore. |
