From what I have read on Stratfor, there are several general staff
officers who want to acquire some Super Tucanos to replace the A-10.
The Skyraider was carrier capable in the USN and USMC versions, which
is something I never saw in the A-10.
I am a BIG fan of the Warthog and GAU-8 30MM. I would like to see a
production line reopened, the design modernized and also adapted for
carrier operations.
I agree with you about the F-35.
