Preparing for the last war just like always.


Its a good platform but doesn't really do anything that the Apache doesn't already.

Nice little plane to counter amateurish insurgents.

Bet it's a little cheaper to run, too.

Can’t call it a Skyraider until they do it.

There’s some forced perspective going on; it’s just a regular ass terlet.

Looks awesome to me as a snackbar deterrent, probably very fun to fly.

Cheaper

... until the USAF gets ahold of it and the budget gets blown.

Watch the video of Mark Kelly just begging the 4 star to say we need this thing.

20 years too late to a fight we aren’t having anymore. There is nothing about that plane capability wise other than Vanity that can’t be done by a more persistent UAS group 3/4 platform.

No toilet, but my dad got to fly with his buddies.

Waste of $$$. Those junkets are supposed to come here to my base.

Clearly, someone on the board at Air Tractor has some political connections.

Hey, wanna see an F-16 obliterate an OV-10?

DOGE, cutting everything but the actual fraud.

It’s easy.

Just lock Elon in his house.

Just fire his ass. If I was dancing on stage at CPAC with a chainsaw, •posting 24/7, and interfering in the federal government instead of showing up to work and flying my trips, I’d be fired, and it should be no different for a douchebag CEO.

Even if he was, his outsize compensation package demands at LEAST a normal full time work schedule. His antics as CEO of what, 4 companies plus his DOGE shenanigans and full time internet trolling, should lay bare to anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together the lie that CEOs work hard enough to deserve their insane salaries, benefits, stock options, etc.
