    This is not an airframe issue. It has never been an airframe issue.

    Once. Do you have a copy of the running report for the Ethiopian crash? We don't know yet.

    What vacuum do you think military aviation operates in? Honestly. The A-10 will loiter for an hour or two at most depending on loadout. The F-35 will do about the same. Loiter time…

    I'm not arguing that the F-35 solves every problem here. I'm trying to deconstruct this weird interpretation of CAS that many people have. > Why would the A-10 (Or a light attack a…

    Again, the fascination despite the facts. Quick is key. That A-10 does the job well in a VERY specific environment. One void of counter air or anti air wherein the launch base is w…

    That form of CAS it not at all unique to the "last war", it's the next evolution of CAS from lessons learned. CAS doesn't need to mean slow, fat, and scary. It needs to be effectiv…

    I won't argue with loiter time, but projecting that force is hard when those distances increase. The solution has and always will be in-air refueling which every other platform can…

    You must be a one of those "troops" then since you seem to know what they want? "there is no aircraft on the planet that provides close air support as well as the A10" Apache drive…

    Again the fascination with the A-10 despite the fact that it isn't a particularly effective CAS platform nowadays will be my constant struggle in a forum like this. The issue right…

    The idea that low cost STOL aircraft will suddenly solve the CAS conundrum is a Reddit-baked solution void of any actual data or understanding. I'm a military aviator and the publi…

    Aviation. I'm leaving my cushy software developer gig at a well known defense contractor to become an Army Aviator. It's not so much that I'm tired or bored, but that I'm looking f…

    Looks like it's Job Sonic. If you look at the CEO, the information checks out.

    Very interesting that I find this here! I was on the PR2 team for awhile before things stagnated. I don't think the team at this point over at realitymod.com would benefit from any…
