Navy SEALs could get new airborne backup. Here’s what the planes look like

Every one of these planes would be a blast to fly...except for that "getting shot at" part of the mission. I've seen planes similar to the AT-6 Wolverine that passed through NAS Key West back in the 80s. It looked like a crop duster, but was fitted with a gas turbine engine and a 5 bladed prop similar to the embedded photo. Several of them had bullet holes...

Wonder why unmanned drones can't provide the same support

I don't think the drones can carry as much ordinance (yet)

Reminds me of the A-10. Very cool!**

The back looks like a P-38.**

I am supporting that program on the maintenance side

Interesting that 1/2 are CAS and 1/2 are transpo, w/ some pods, but not

They have been testing prototypes and getting data from Africa
