ten hour loiter time? Hahah, that would be a long mission. Go pills consumed on every mission!

I know that you guys do things for a reason...but why were you taking off downwind?
hate to be a party pooper, but any aircraft designed to kill dudes with an AK and a dream is on the wrong side.

Not sure about the strip where t-cart is flying from, but most ag strips are one way in, one way out...
That is how my Grandpa's strip was at home. East west runway with 1500 feet and a slight dogleg in the middle. Trees lined one side, hanger and storage on the other, his house on one end, fence on the opposite end. Prevailing winds were usually north/south.
Sportys needs to give one of these away, screw the 172SPs.
Can't wait for pics!:rawk::rawk:
You can bet the guys at the 160th SOAR have already laid hands on. :nana2: Problem is the AF likes to limit them to rotors only. It would be an outstanding Special Operations support platform.
When I get home, I think a trip to Olney is in order

That looks nice. I mean, the F-35 is supposed to replace the A-10? The A-10 had a really long dwell time, the fuel capacity of the F-35 won't be able to make a sortie last that long. Big turboprops with lots of guns and bombs is the answer, not like you need to outrun anything faster than a car when you have air supremacy.
It's designed to replace everything.
Jack of all trades master of none.
Piper tried to crack into the market back in the '70s with a beefed up P-51 style turboprop called the PA-48 Enforcer.
